Small bowel obstruction

Small bowel obstruction

Small bowel obstruction. This PFA shows several moderately dilated small bowel loops in the centre of the abdomen. In this case, we could (correctly) suggest that the obstruction may be due to adhesions as there is evidence of extensive previous surgery – note the anastomotic staple lines in the right iliac fossa and pelvis (arrows). The patient had had previous bowel resections for Crohn disease.
