  • Title: Abdominal CT findings in small bowel perforation.
    Author: Zissin R, Osadchy A, Gayer G.
    Journal: Br J Radiol; 2009 Feb; 82(974):162-71. PubMed ID: 18852210.
    Abstract:
    Small bowel perforation is an emergent medical condition for which the diagnosis is usually not made clinically but by CT, a common imaging modality used for the diagnosis of acute abdomen. Direct CT features that suggest perforation include extraluminal air and oral contrast, which are often associated with secondary CT signs of bowel pathology. This pictorial review illustrates the CT findings of small bowel perforation caused by various clinical entities.
