[The diagnosis of chronic duodenal obstruction combined with duodenal peptic ulcer].

AIM: The study of clinical manifestations of chronic duodenal ileus (CDI) and potential of specific methods of CDI diagnosis in its combination with duodenal ulcer (DU).

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

Assessment of acid-producing gastric function, duodenogastric reflux, manometry of the upper gastrointestinal tract, fibrogastroduodenoscopy, ultrasonic and x-ray investigations were made in 1140 patients with chronic DU.

RESULTS

29.2% of the examinees were found to have CDI. Specific features of CDI course are described. The diagnostic criteria are defined. Higher informative value of the diagnostic methods can be achieved.

CONCLUSION

The findings can be used in the choice of DU treatment, for formulation of indications to duodenocorrective interventions.
