Fifteen patients with abdominal pain compatible with the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) were examined by barium enema and pressure recording. Strong circular contractions of the sigmoid colon and pressure recordings correlated with the characteristic pain in 13 of the 15 patients. In 15 control patients no pain occurred. It is concluded that pain and high pressure are caused by strong circular sigmoidal contractions. Such findings enable the radiologist to contribute to the diagnosis of IBS.
对15例有符合肠易激综合征(IBS)腹痛症状的患者进行了钡灌肠和压力记录检查。15例患者中有13例乙状结肠的强烈环形收缩及压力记录与特征性疼痛相关。15例对照患者未出现疼痛。结论是疼痛和高压是由乙状结肠强烈的环形收缩引起的。这些发现使放射科医生能够为IBS的诊断提供帮助。
