Abstract: A roentgenological study on the small intestinal lesions in 3 cases of amyloidosis is reported hereinafter. Barium meal method performed on the cases showed prolongation of transit time, continuity of baric shadow and all-over narrowing of the intestinal canal. In double contrast study, however, widened inter-Kerckring's fold interval, less supple bamboo joint-like ring appearance, dense granular shadows and small barium flecks, etc. were recongnized. It has been supposed that double contrast study on the intestinal lesions in amyloidosis, in addition to radiological features obtained as a result of ever-used barium meal method, provides us with clues to correct diagnosis of the disease. We have therefore realized keenly that the double contrast study should be performed for making differential diagnosis of the small intestinal lesions in amyloidosis from other intestinal lesions in different diseases (such as strongyloidosis).
