[Barium embolisation into the portal vein--a complication of barium enema in Leśniowski-Crohn disease].
Barium embolisation is a very rare complication of barium enema, but carries a mortality of about 50%. We report a case of 70-year-old woman with Lesniowski-Crohn disease, who survived after barium intravasation into the portal circulation produced during a barium enema.
