title: Sonography of intestinal abnormality in the right iliac fossa.
abstract: The findings on sonographic examination of intestinal disorders in the right iliac fossa are often nonspecific. We have found the classification system just described useful because it leads to a meaningful differential diagnosis, which may be narrowed on the basis of various distinguishing features. The use of other imaging techniques, imaging-guided aspiration or biopsy, or surgical intervention may be necessary to make the exact diagnosis.
