[Critical considerations on the "innominate grooves" of the colon (author's transl)]. / Kritische Betrachtungen zu den "innominate grooves" des Kolons.

The authors discuss the meaning of the "innominate grooves" of the colon after having determined their anatomic substratum with a microradiographic study. In the iconographic and methodological critical evaluation of the double contrast technique the "innominate grooves" must be considered as an important sign of today's radiologic semeiotics and as elementary mucous structures which are first affected by pathologic situations.
