Cystic fibrosis, distal intestinal obstruction, and therapeutic Gastrografin enema
Cystic fibrosis, distal intestinal obstruction, and therapeutic Gastrografin enema
Therapeutic enema with diatrizoate meglumine and diatrizoate sodium (Gastrografin) in a patient with cystic fibrosis and small bowel obstruction due to distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS). A spot view of the cecum shows a contrast-filled cecum (asterisk). Two days following the enema, the patient's symptoms improved with normal stooling and ability to tolerate solid foods.
