  • Title: Duodenal perforation during intubation for small bowel enema study.
    Author: Diner WC.
    Journal: Radiology; 1988 Jul; 168(1):39-41. PubMed ID: 3380981.
    Abstract:
    Use of the small bowel enema examination (enteroclysis) is increasing, and numerous reports have attested to its value, but virtually no complications have been reported. The author describes a 72-year-old man undergoing enteroclysis for weakness, anemia, and guaiac-positive stools in whom the duodenum was perforated during intubation. Radiologists should be aware of this potential complication, and inexperienced people should be supervised carefully during the procedure.
