title: [Double-contrast study of the small intestine using enteroclysis. Considerations on the results in 250 patients].
abstract: The value of double contrast small bowel enema via duodenal intubation using barium sulphate and methylcellulose as contrast media was assessed in 250 patients. In cases of small bowel obstruction it represented the first-line investigation after a plain abdominal film. It was performed electively in patients of painful bowel syndrome, in cases of malabsorption, in cases of endoscopically or radiologically diagnosed colitis and in patients with Crohn's disease. On the basis of our results we believe double contrast small bowel enema to be the most reliable investigation in the localization and identification of small bowel lesions.
