  • Title: Barium contrast study converts partial small-bowel obstruction into a complete one. Report of 2 cases.
    Author: Assalia A, Schein M, Hashmonai M.
    Journal: S Afr J Surg; 1993 Sep; 31(3):102-3. PubMed ID: 8128320.
    Abstract:
    The use of barium contrast study is considered accurate and safe in suspected intestinal obstruction. However, the use of barium in 2 patients with small-bowel obstruction converted their partial obstruction into a complete one. This complication has been previously mentioned but not documented. The use of water-soluble agents may be safer.
