Blind loop syndrome ultrasound

Blind loop syndrome is a medical condition that occurs when the intestine is obstructed, slowing or stopping the progress of digested food, and thus facilitating the growth of bacteria to the point that problems in nutrient absorption occur.

Ultrasound may show distended bowel loops.

Ultrasound in blind loop syndrome may reveal a distended bowel with decreased peristaltic movements.
