title: CT findings for postsurgical blind pouch of small bowel.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Our objective was to define the CT criteria for blind pouches formed after enteric anastomosis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Familiarity with the CT appearance of blind pouches avoids the mistaking of these entities for bowel obstruction or abscesses.
