Sonography: If the ultrasound beam is tangential to the gastric wall and encoun-
ters a series of multiple rugal folds, this may create the erroneous appearance of a thickened wall (Fig. missed, even in a patient with clinical manifestations (anorexia, weight loss, bloat­ing, aversion to roasted foods), if all portions of the stomach are not visualized (left subcostal oblique scan to evaluate the body of the stomach, high paramedian lon­gitudinal scan over the aortic hiatus to demonstrate the cardia and gastric inlet; see Fig.

Gastroscopy with biopsies (may include loop biopsy) is indicated:

Whenever ultrasound detects wall thickening (e.g., in Ménétrier disease, chronic gastritis, carcinoma, lymphoma)

Distention of the fluid-filled lumen
x
Real-time ultrasound: “washing machine” sign
n
Diabetic autonomic neuropathy (Fig. 529): common in patients with a i 8 year
history of diabetes, accompanied by other diabetic sequelae. Patients present clinically with refractory diarrhea and steatorrhea. Many cases show cardiopathy with tachycardia and peripheral neuropathies.
x
Distended bowel loops
x
Hypo- or hyperperistalsis
n
Partial or complete mechanical bowel obstruction : The bowel may be
obstructed by adhesions, a gallstone or foreign body, etc. (Figs. see also Figs. lated as a result of intussusception or volvulus.

x
Dilated bowel loops
x
Increased intraluminal fluid (anechoic to hyperechoic contents)
x
As a rule, peristalsis is initially increased but later is diminished or absent (bidirectional peristalsis)
x
“Keyboard sign” and “stepladder sign ” (fluid-outlined valvulae conniventes in the jejunum). The bowel loops have a keyboard-like appearance when imaged in longitudinal section and a stepladder-like appearance when imaged tangen­tially (Fig.
530). Valvulae conniventes are absent in the ileum, where the
dilated bowel loops present an essentially smooth inner surface (Fig.
x
Possible circumscribed free fluid
x
Obstruction by a gallstone or bezoar (Fig. 112, p. 83): signs of obstruction prox- imal to the stenosis. The obstructing object can be identified as an intraluminal mass (stone: typical stone features with distal shadowing; bezoar: nonshadow­ing hypoechoic mass)
x
Obstruction due to intussusception:
– The telescoped bowel segments appear as concentric outer and inner hypoe-
choic rings with a hyperechoic middle ring (“target-in-a-target” pattern;
common with polyps, tumors, and lymph nodes) – Slight wall thickening, possibly with a thin fluid rim – Absence of peristalsis in the intussusceptum

Partial or complete paralytic ileus (see Fig. 114, p. 84):

Caution: Paralytic ileus is frequently associated with peritonitis.

Long Segmental Wall Thickening

n
Crohn disease of the terminal ileum: –
Clinical features: diarrhea, pain in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen, ele­vated ESR; possible iron deficiency anemia, steatorrhea, vitamin B bile acid loss syndrome with chologenic diarrhea
x
Possible complications:
– Stenosis – Fistula formation: Fistulae may be enterocutaneous, enterovesical, entero-
mesenteric, or enterouterine
!
Caution: Fistulae may also occur with intestinal tumors.
– Hypoechoic inflammatory mesenteric reaction – Abscess formation – Bowel obstruction
x
Sonographic findings (Figs. 532–534): – Thickening of the terminal ileal wall to i 4 mm (for severity of inflamma-
tion, see Table – Increased intraluminal fluid with wall thickening (fluid due to decreased
absorption, unlike the secretory fluid collection in viral or bacterial enteritis) – Rigid bowel loop with absent or decreased peristalsis – Polypous inner wall with a “cobblestone” appearance
