In mynahs with foreign body ingestion, delayed diagnosis increases the risk of poor outcomes.The aim this study was to evaluate various radiologic features on plain and contrast radiographs in for assessing presence ingested bodies.In our cross-sectional study, a total 41 were included. The made by history, surgery, excision forceps or excretion faeces. Overall, 21 considered not have their gastrointestinal tract. Plain post-contrast [oral administration barium sulphate colloidal suspension 25% weight/volume (20 mg/kg)] lateral ventrodorsal from cervical coelomic cavity taken. Different parameters including oesophageal, proventricular, small intestinal diameters opacities assessed. Image evaluation performed two national board-certified radiologists blinded final diagnoses.The inter- intra-observer reliabilities diagnostic significant (p < 0.001). highly accurate [90.2% (95% CI: 76.9%, 92.3%)] sensitivity, specificity, area under representative characteristic curve 90.0%, 90.5%, 0.93%, respectively radiographs. size opacity oesophagus, proventriculus, loops as well serosal details significantly different between without intake 0.05).Lateral are reliable diagnosing non-opaque obstructing objects tract mynahs. Attention should be paid extension, segmental loops, decrease details.
