It is true that the small intestinal obstruction belongs to less frequent diseases of the gastrointestinal tract
Summary
Considering the obtained results, we can recommend plain radiography as a simple primary diagnostic imaging method of intestinal obstruction. Ultrasonography is important especially in the detection of the small intestinal intussusception and neoplasia (Penninck et al 1990; Myers and Penninck 1994; Lamb and Mantis 1998; Levitt and Bauer 1992; Lewis and Ellison 1987; Válek et al 1997; Válek and Hrobafi 1997). In many cases it was very good at visualisation of intraluminal foreign bodies (Manczur et al 1998). The final diagnosis of small intestinal obstruction, sometimes, lies on the upper gastrointestinal study, barium enema, enteroclysis, computer tomography or angiography (Gibbs and Pearson 1973; McPhedran et al 1970; Wilson and Burt 1974; Levitt and Bauer 1992; Lewis and Ellison 1987; Wolvekamp 1989; Válek et al 2000a; Válek et al 2000b)
