Diagnostic blood tests showed elevated C-reactive protein (17 mg/dL), thoracic radiography showed a right lung consolidation, and abdominal radiography showed marked dilation of the small bowel loops, suggestive of an abdominal obstruction (Figure 1).
(A) Coronal and (B) transverse abdominal CT scans showing a well-positioned gastrostomy tube and marked distension of proximal small bowel loops with a caliber loop transition at the level of the right upper abdomen (arrows).

Abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed a well-positioned gastrostomy tube, with a contrasted product administered via the gastrostomy passing into the duodenum with no leakage to other loops or peritoneum, as well as slight pneumoperitoneum and marked distension of proximal small bowel loops with clear caliber loop transition at the level of the upper right abdomen, compatible with SBV (Figure 2).
