[Small intestinal occlusion by primary neoplastic stenosis. Concerning 10 patients (author's transl)]

The authors present 10 cases of primary cancer of the small intestine which had led to occlusive disorders. After eliminating occlusion due to strangulation and confirming the simple mechanical nature of the obstacle on confrontation of the clinical signs (Koenig's syndrome) and data from the plain X-rays of the unprepared abdomen, they carried out contrast radiography using barium, which enabled them in 6 cases to suspect the malignant nature of the stenosis.
