Abdominal X-ray (AXR) revealed diffuse distention of small bowel loops without evidence of free gas within the peritoneum (Figure 1).
Computer tomography scan in the coronal plane demonstrating high-grade distal small bowel obstruction with a transition point within the left iliac fossa. Appearance of a "target" sign raising suspicion of an intussusception.

Abdominal CT scan was ordered which revealed high-grade distal SBO with transition point in the left iliac fossa and signs suggestive of ileo-ileal intussusception (Figures 2 and 3).
Computer tomography scan in the axial plane demonstrating multiple loops of dilated loops of the small bowel with and transition point within the left iliac fossa with the characteristic "target" sign suggesting high-grade small bowel obstruction likely secondary to intussusception.
