[Particularities of sigmoiditis with regard to pharmaco-radiography (author's transl)].

The sigmoid colon differs from the remaining colon anatomically, functionally and by increased incidence of disease. Occasionally it may be very difficult to differentiate diverticulitis of the sigma from a malignant tumor. It is felt that hypotonic sigmoidography improves the diagnostic accuracy. Selective angiography of the inferior mesenteric artery may be of further diagnostic help. Pharmaco-angiographic examinations with Eupaverin yielded no better results.
