Description
The double contrast examination according to Sellink continues to play a significant role for the detection of Crohn's disease in the small intestine. For detection of accompanying complications, such as fistulisation or abscess formation, CT and MRI perform better than the double contrast examination. Sometimes, however, supplementing examinations may lead to wrong conclusions, as is shown with the case reported. (orig./CB)
Abstract (German)
Die Duenndarm-Doppelkontrastuntersuchung nach Sellink hat weiterhin einen hohen Stellenwert bei der Abklaerung eines Duenndarmbefalles bei Morbus Crohn. Bei der Erkennung von begleitenden Komplikationen wie Fistelbildungen und Abszessen sind die Computertomographie und die Kernspintomographie der Duenndarmdoppelkontrastuntersuchung ueberlegen. Gelegentlich koennen jedoch ergaenzende Untersuchungen zu einer irrefuehrenden Diagnostik fuehren, wie der vorliegende Fall aufzeigt. (orig.)Additional details
