✦ Synopsis

Three cases of small intestinal phytobezoar, suggested by sonography and later confirmed at surgery, are reported. Sonographic findings ofbezoar were intraluminal mass presenting as an arclike surface echo casting clear posterior acoustic shadow within the lumen of the dilated small bowel. Compression of the mass with a transducer induced fluid shift around the mass. We propose that diagnosis of bezoars can be suggested on the basis of sonographic findings.

To facilitate the percutaneous drainage of an afferent-loop small-intestine obstruction, we used sonography to detect visceral adhesions and select a safe puncture route. The portion of the small intestine that was fixed to the anterior abdominal wall was sonographically identified by using a high-f
