Roentgenographic features of mushroom (Amanita) poisoning

Am J Roentgenol Radium Ther Nucl Med. 1975 Dec;125(4):782-7. doi: 10.2214/ajr.125.4.782.

Abstract

The clinical and roentgenographic features of six cases of Amanita mushroom poisoning were reviewed. The roentgenographic manifestations included adynamic ileus (three patients) and small, irregularly shaped kidneys secondary to the healing process of acute tubular necrosis (one patient). Intestinal pseudo-obstruction can result from many medical problems and mushroom poisoning should be considered in its differential diagnosis.
