The echographic study of the gastrointestinal tract is hampered by the presence of gas that prevents the long-range penetration of the ultrasound beam. However the presence of a mass with a central echogenic region surrounded by a sonolucent wall of over 1.5 cm is characteristic of intestinal pathologies. A study of 23 patients with gastrointestinal disorders in whom echography revealed specific pictures is presented.
