X Ray

Abdominal radiographs demonstrate multiple air–fluid levels throughout the abdomen. Serial radiographs usually do not show progressive distention as they do in mechanical obstruction On a barium meal, (small bowel series) patient of ileus demonstrate slow movement of barium with a patent intestinal lumen.

• Patients undergoing serial X rays have shown that resolution of ileus proceed from proximal to distally.
• return of propulsive activity to the right colon occurs earlier than to the transverse or left colon.
• Dilatation of large and small bowel dilatation
• Elevated diaphragm
• Ileus appears as copious gas dilatation of the small intestine and colon
