title: [Strangulation ileus of the small intestine--the significance of CT in the diagnostic procedure].
abstract: We report a case of strangulating small bowel obstruction due to an adhesive band. The patient had a normal plain abdominal X-ray, but CT-scanning unveiled signs of strangulating obstruction. The value of CT is discussed and we conclude that CT should be performed if intestinal strangulation is suspected but clinical and plain film findings are non-specific.
