"Reflex ileus in acute abdominal disease were produced frequently due to cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, abscess in pelvic, appendiceal and diaphragmatic etc. But we found that a functional type of paralytic ileus due to ureteral stonetr renal stone was commonly seen on the plain roentgenogram. In these functional type of reflex ileus due to urinary stone, distension of the small intestine withgas may interfere with an accurate detection of the stone. It may lead to confusion in detecting ureteral stone and obstructive ileus. In this report, we analyzed how many cases would show a functional type of reflex ileus in urinary stone cases. 1. In 200 cases of urinary stone, reflex ileus with urinary stone were produced in 49 cases(21. 5%) 2. Many cases of ureteral stone were found on lower third of the ureter. (99 cases) 28 reflex ileus cases in 99 cases were produced (29.2%) 3. In reflex ileus due to urinary stone, we classified them by sex, age, location and stone size. The stone was often masked by nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention and reflex ileus on plain roentgenogram. So it is necessary to perform a complete urological study to detect urinary stone."
