Sonography of intestinal abnormality in the right iliac fossa

The findings on sonographic examination of intestinal disorders in the right iliac fossa are often nonspecific. We have found the classification system just described useful because it leads to a meaningful differential diagnosis, which may be narrowed on the basis of various distinguishing features. The use of other imaging techniques, imaging-guided aspiration or biopsy, or surgical intervention may be necessary to make the exact diagnosis.
