Title: LESIONS OF THE SMALL INTESTINE SECONDARY TO IRRADIATION (in French)

Abstract

Desions of the small intestine secondary to irradiation are relatively rare, but must be considered, however, when a patient who has received pelvic irradiation for a genital cancer develops intestinal complaints resistant to symptomatic medical treatment, or presents an acute episode such as obstruction, peritonitis, hemorrhage or fistula information. The part played by the various etiological factors is difficult to establish. The gross changes are rather uniform. The diagnosis of lesions of the small intestine is easy; the clinical features which can appear after a certain latent period but rarely after two or three years, speak for themselves. Radiography, principally small intestine follow-through, has great value in diagnosing these lesions and must be repeated if necessary to study the progress in in a suspicious area. The main problem is to exclude malignant change. Surgery will serve to confirm the diagnosis and constitute the treatment of choice for these small intestinal lesions. (auth)
