    Colonic ileus, a condition causing bowel obstruction, was linked to various clinical issues. Prompt recognition of severe cecal dilation on X-rays is crucial to prevent dangerous colon perforation.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Colonic ileus presents a significant clinical challenge, often associated with diverse underlying conditions.
    • Radiographic findings are critical for diagnosing and managing bowel obstruction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on the clinical characteristics and radiographic findings in eleven cases of colonic ileus.
    • To emphasize the importance of recognizing cecal dilation in preventing complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of eleven patient cases diagnosed with colonic ileus.
    • Analysis of clinical presentations and radiographic imaging, focusing on cecal dilation.

    Main Results:

    • Eleven cases of colonic ileus were identified across various clinical scenarios.

  • Severe cecal dilation was the predominant finding on roentgenographic examinations.
  • The severity of cecal dilation correlated with the risk of complications.

    • Conclusions:

    • Severe cecal dilation is a key indicator in colonic ileus.
    • Timely diagnosis and management of colonic ileus, particularly recognizing cecal dilation, are essential to avert colon perforation.
