CT of Bowel and Mesenteric Injury
Sunnybrook HospitalRegional Trauma Centre
Dr. Paul Hamilton, University of TorontoCanadian Association of Radiologists, May 28, 2015
Bowel and Mesenteric injury
• 1- 5% blunt trauma• Surgical intervention +++• Clinical exam limited• Interpretation difficult
Bowel and Mesenteric Injury…. Evaluation with CT
• Free fluid (96%)• Free air (32%)• Mesenteric infiltration
(86%)• Bowel wall thickening
(61%)
Rizzo et al. Radiology 1989
Detection of significant bowel and mesenteric injuries in blunt abdominal trauma with 64-slice computed tomography
• 68 patients laparotomy proven blunt bowel and mesenteric injuries.
• all had free fluid.• 4 cases minimal ff without additional
findings.• Conclusions: No FF makes
bowel/mesenteric injury unlikely • Even minimal ff remains relevant.

Bowel and Mesenteric Injury…. Evaluation with CT
• Free fluid (96%)• Free air (32%)• Mesenteric infiltration
(86%)• Bowel wall thickening

My Trauma Checklist
• 1. free air• 2. diaphragm• 3. mesenteric hematoma/fluid• 4. extravasation• 5. differential bowel wall enhancement
(You can make you own list)
My Trauma Checklist
• 1. free air – (bowel perforation/surgery)• 2. diaphragm – (surgical repair)• 3. mesenteric hematoma/fluid –
(bowel/mesenteric injury/surgery)• 4. extravasation – (intervention)• 5. dif. bowel wall enhancement -
(surgery)
Why these?
37 woman, office injury
SB mesenteric hematoma, non-therapeutic laparotomy
29 year old man, MVC
Bowel and Mesenteric Injury…. Evaluation with CT
• Free fluid • Free air • Mesenteric infiltration • Bowel wall thickening • Mesenteric contrast
extravasation
44 year old man, work accident, pinned by truck at loading dock
Differential bowel wall enhancement
Bowel and Mesenteric Injury…. Evaluation with CT
• Free fluid • Free air • Mesenteric infiltration • Bowel wall thickening • Mesenteric contrast
extravasation• Differential BW
enhancement
Differential bowel wall enhancement
64 woman, MVCSigmoid colon discontinuity
Bowel and Mesenteric Injury…. Evaluation with CT
• Free fluid • Free air • Mesenteric infiltration• Bowel wall thickening • Mesenteric vascular
extravasation• Differential
enhancement• Bowel wall
discontinuity
34 year old cyclist hit by car
Non-therapeutic laparotomy
Shock bowel
Hypovolemic shock complex• Bowel thickening,
dilatation, hyperenhancement
• Small vessels (IVC, Aorta)
• Retroperitoneal, mesenteric edema
• Abnormal organ perfusion
Ryan et al, Clinical Radiology, May, 2005
Recommendations for CT bowel trauma
• free fluid
• use a checklist
• be aware of pitfalls
