There was no tenderness, no mass, no
free fluid in the abdomen and no visible gastric peristalsis.
Spontaneous ureteral injury is a rare complication of vaginal delivery, but it should be strongly suspected when a large amount of simple
free fluid is seen on CT.
Findings of both FAST and CT scan were considered either 'positive' or 'negative' for the presence or absence of
free fluid respectively.
His abdominal tomography revealed an extremely thickened gallbladder wall together with
free fluid surrounding it.
For example, lack of peristalsis, prominent bowel wall thickening, the presence of intraperitoneal
free fluid, and a distended bowel segment on ultrasound are all indicative of a probable bowel infarction [14].
A FAST examination was performed, which demonstrated complex
free fluid in all quadrants.
In the 2nd case, intraperitoneal bladder injury could only be suspected by the presence of
free fluid in the peritoneal cavity.
Laparotomy (2015) [12] USS: ultrasound; CT: computerised tomography; MRI: magnetic resonance imaging; FF:
free fluid; PoD: pouch of Douglas.
These findings were non-compressibility (83%), appendicular tube (55%), appendicolith (13%), omental thickening (80.5%), surrounding
free fluid (63.8%), and the probe tenderness (91.7%).
An ultrasound showed a normal uterus and a 4 X 2.6 X 4.6 cm heterogeneous right adnexal mass with
free fluid (Figure 1).
CT findings can be summarized as follows: dilatation >6 cm and wall thickening >3 mm of the affected colon segment (100%, n=41), pericolonic fat stranding (100%, n=41), mucosal discontinuity (14.6 %, n=6), presence of free air (14.6%, n=6),
free fluid (9.7%, n=4), and pericolonic abscess (2.4%, n=1).
