Closed loop obstruction: diagnosis by enteroclysis.
The diagnosis of closed loop obstruction was made by enteroclysis in 5 patients. In each case barium outlined the involved loop, and related segments of marked narrowing were identified as the neck of the closed loop. The findings prompted early surgical intervention, and adhesive bands causing closed loop obstruction were confirmed in all 5 patients.
