In the four cases reported by Dr Cooper and others diagnosis was suspected on clinical grounds and confirmed at surgery or necropsy. This diagnosis can, however, be easily confirmed by radionuclide imaging (addition of 3 mCi of 99mTc to the peritoneal dialysate), as done in our case (figure). This technique is
The case notes of all patients admitted in 1981 to two Birmingham psychiatric hospitals on compulsory orders for treatment were examined to determine whether, had the new "consent to treatment" proposals in the Mental Health (Amendment) Bill been in operation, a second opinion was necessary.
