| Popis: | 1.1. A case of herpes zoster with ileus simulating intestinal obstruction is presented in which barium enema studies demonstrated a constant, smooth constriction in the sigmoid colon which subsequently returned to normal. 2.2. The necessity for accurate evaluation of the roentgen changes in the barium enema studies is stressed. The possibility of intestinal involvement in herpes zoster should be kept in mind in order to obviate undesirable and unnecessary surgical intervention in such cases. 3.3. It is believed in our case that the pathologic changes in the sigmoid on barium enema study may have been due to direct involvement of the sigmoid by the herpes virus, since these changes cannot be satisfactorily accounted for on the basis of reflex segmental spasm. |
