  • Title: Enterolithiasis as a cause of intestinal obstruction.
    Author: LeBolt SA, Turner MA.
    Journal: Can Assoc Radiol J; 1989 Apr; 40(2):119-20. PubMed ID: 2702503.
    Abstract:
    Enteroliths are an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction. We report two patients in whom this occurred. Conditions causing stasis predispose formation of enteroliths, which may be either radiopaque or radiolucent. They have a characteristic appearance on plain radiographs and on contrast examinations. Early recognition is helpful in preventing complications.
