An abdominal radiograph (Figure 1) and a CT scan (Figure 2) were obtained. The abdominal radiograph (Figure 1) revealed marked dilated loops of bowel with scattered air-fluid levels that heightened the suspicion of an impending bowel obstruction.

An abdominal radiograph (Figure 1) and a CT scan (Figure 2) were obtained. CT scan (Figure 2) of the abdomen and pelvis with oral contrast and intravenous was obtained. CT showed marked dilatated stomach, duodenum and proximal jejunum, with non-dilated distal jejunum, ileum, and colon; these findings were indicative of proximal small bowel obstruction.
