title: [Usefulness and limitations of edema of the small intestine in malabsorption syndromes].
abstract: Malabsorption syndrome is a clinical condition that can be determined by several situations which can ensue by many etiopathogenetic mechanisms. While the diagnostic approach is, for this reason, complex and uses a lot of clinical, laboratory and instrumental techniques, the therapeutic approach could be surgical or medical. The aim of our research is to establish the diagnostic utility of the radiologic examination of the small intestine by enteroclysis, on the basis of our personal experience and the data referred in literature. We took particular care of the radiological study of primitive malabsorption.
