Abstract

A case of barium intravasation during routine barium enema is reported and 8 previously documented cases reviewed. This occurrence may be related to mucosal inflammation, intestinal obstruction, increased intraluminal pressure, or misplacement of the catheter tip. Survival may be related to the amount of barium entering the circulation, resuscitation timing, and the age and general health of the patient.
