Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
The Stepladderstepladder sign is a sonographic sign indicating an intracapsular breast implant rupture. It is considered the most reliable ultrasonographic finding in silicone gel breast implant intracapsular rupture. It is identified as multiple, discontinuous, parallel, linear echoes in the lumen, and is analogous to the linguine sign on MRI.
The stepladder sign is also used to describe the air-fluid levels in obstructed small bowel on an erect abdominal radiograph.
