Results CT findings were consistence with the results of surgery-pathology and endoscopy in 33 of 35 cases. The CT diagnostic accuracy of intestinal obstruction was 100%. And the accuracy of the cause was 94%, including colon carcinoma in 25, lyphoma in 5, gastrointestinal stromal tumor in 2, and lipoma in 3.Conclusion CT has unique advantage in examining intestinal tumor obstruction, not only for definiting the existence of the obstruction, but also locating the site of obstruction diagnosing the cause and chosing the appropriate treatment.
