Abstract
Pontine tegmental cap dysplasia accompanied by a duplicated internal auditory canal.
Highlights
Pneumoperitoneum[6], especially when the distension is greater than 12 cm and lasts for more than six days
For evaluating diseases of the colon, Computed tomography (CT) has been shown to be the method of choice[7,8,9,10,11]
In Ogilvie’s syndrome, CT is a useful for identifying the obstruction and determining the underlying cause[12], the main findings being dilation extending from the cecum to the transverse colon, with a transition zone in the splenic flexure, where the caliber of the adjoining loop is considerably smaller
Summary
Pneumoperitoneum[6], especially when the distension is greater than 12 cm and lasts for more than six days. In Ogilvie’s syndrome, CT is a useful for identifying the obstruction and determining the underlying cause[12], the main findings being dilation extending from the cecum to the transverse colon, with a transition zone in the splenic flexure, where the caliber of the adjoining loop is considerably smaller. Colonic pseudo-obstruction is associated with the use of chemotherapy.
