A retrospective study of 105 barium follow-through examinations on 102 patients suspected of having malabsorption syndrome has been carried out to assess the usefulness of this technique in the diagnosis of coeliac disease. Comparison with histological and biochemical data has been made. Of the 34 examinations on 31 patients with a proven diagnosis of coeliac disease, 30 examinations showed both abnormal X-ray and biopsy findings, two examinations showed normal X-ray appearance but abnormal jejunal biopsy and two showed normal jejunal histology but abnormal X-ray findings. There were two cases with sensitivity, non-invasive nature, ease and cheapness of the technique, barium follow-through examination is suggested as the initial investigation in patients suspected of coeliac disease.
对102例疑似吸收不良综合征患者进行了105次钡剂灌肠检查的回顾性研究，以评估该技术在乳糜泻诊断中的实用性。并与组织学和生化数据进行了比较。在31例已确诊乳糜泻的患者中进行的34次检查中，30次检查显示X线和活检结果均异常，2次检查显示X线表现正常但空肠活检异常，2次检查显示空肠组织学正常但X线结果异常。有两例该技术具有敏感性、无创性、操作简便和成本低廉的特点，建议将钡剂灌肠检查作为疑似乳糜泻患者的初步检查方法。
