Enteroclysis

The small intestine size and contours are unremarkable. Contrast travels through the bowel at a normal rate without any sign of obstruction.

There are many abnormalities of the small intestine that may be identified with enteroclysis. Some of these include:

• Malabsorption states
• Partial, low grade, or intermittent small bowel obstruction
• Inflammation of the small bowel (such as Crohn's disease)
• Intestinal stricture
• Small bowel disorders in patients with GI bleeding who have a normal upper GI series and lower GI series
• Primary or metastatic tumors of the small intestine

You should always discuss the significance of abnormal findings with your health care provider.
