Abstract
A strikingly narrowed intervalvular distance, disproportionate for the degree of dilatation, is distinctive of scleroderma of the small bowel. It occurs in oven 60 per cent of the cases.Transient, nonobstructive intussusceptions are reported for the first time, occurring in 17 per cent of the cases reviewed.An explanation for these changes based on the histopathology of the disease is proposed.Keywords
