title: [Plain film findings and contrast enema in colon ischemia (author's transl)].
abstract: We describe our observations on abdominal roentgenograms without preparation in two cases of segmental colon infarct and eighteen cases of ischemic colitis. In both infarct cases a colic ileus was noted. In one patient the infarcted loop appeared as gas contrasted. In the ischemic cases there were, in addition to the bowel ileus: a colectasis in two patients, a collapsed segment in thirteen and a gas-filled segment in three. When associated to a significant clinical situation the two latter images have some diagnostic value. In the majority of patients, the contrast enema made possible a diagnosis of ischemic colitis; in three it shaved the sigmoid narrowing responsible for the ischemia.
