“…The radiographic diagnosis of these diseases was confused until the landmark work of Marshak [6][7][8][9]. Marshak et al clarified the situation by describing four radiographic patterns: (1) multiple nodular defects, (2) sprue (malabsorption) pattern, (3) inflammatory changes, (4) thickening of small intestinal folds.…”

“…The abnormal lymphoid cells are capable of increasing in number, but still are unable to produce immunoglobulins in sufficient amount, if at all. Radiographically, the aggregates of lymphocytes produce multiple, smooth nodular radiolucencies in the barium column measuring 2 to 4 m m in diameter which are uniformly distributed along the small intestine [7] (Fig. 1).…”

Marshak has emphasized the role of the gastrointestinal tract as a major immunologic organ and described the radiologic findings of immunoglobulin deficiency diseases of the small intestine. According to his classification the radiologic findings include multiple nodular defects, edema and increased secretions associated with Giardiasis, a sprue-like pattern, and thickened folds. In this report, the role of the intestine in the immune response is briefly reviewed and several of the radiologic features of immune deficiency diseases and those of benign nodular lymphoid hyperplasia are illustrated.

“…According to Marshak et al [4], the disease is characterized radiologically by enlargement of the jejunal and ileal folds. The pattern of the folds is uniform, and excessive intestinal secretions frequently result in dilution of the barium column (Fig.…”

Waldmann in 1961 redefined primary protein-losing gastroenteropathy and renamed the condition "lymphangiectasia". This abnormality, usually seen in infancy, is characterized by enlargement of folds and signs of hypersecretion in the small bowel. Enlargement of folds occurs secondary to edema of the valvulvae conniventes and lymphatic dilatation. Hypersecretion may be the result of rupture of dilated lymphatics or transudation of protein across an intact capillary epithelium. The clinical, roentgenographic, and pathologic findings are described. The pathophysiology of this condition is discussed.
