Overview
CT
- Abdominal CT scan can be performed in suspected cases of acute colonic pseduo-obstruction in order to detect the site of the obstruction. The CT scan also can detect the underlying cause or risk factor that lead to the colonic obstruction.[1]
- CT scan in cases of acute colonic pseudo-obstruction may show the following:
- The presence of dilatation of the large bowel without evidence of an abrupt transition point or mechanically obstructing lesion
- The colonic dilation may extend to the rectum
