[Diagnosis of textilomas].
Despite all the precautions during surgery, it may be assert that obliviousness of a compress or of a mesh remains still possible. In order to define this accident a non-medical term, textiloma, is used, only in hospital environment. Radiology and medical imaging represent the main tool for the diagnosis of textilomas. Plain film of the abdomen and/or ecography may be sufficient for revealing the textiloma. Just in a few cases a computed tomography may be required. In order to demonstrate all these, using two cases, we'll emphasize the main radio-semiological aspect of textilomas, and thus intending to establish an examination algorithm.
