<b>Cecal Pneumatosis in Patients with Obstructive Colon Cancer:</b> Correlation of CT Findings with Bowel Viability

Abstract

CT findings of cecal pneumatosis do not always indicate transmural infarction in patients with acute large-bowel obstruction due to colon cancer. Cecal pneumatosis may be related to viable bowel when it displays a bubblelike pattern or when it is not associated with other findings of ischemia.
