On postoperative day three, a CT scan of the abdomen revealed dilated small and large bowel, with a transition point in the midtransverse colon, consistent with a high-grade obstruction (Fig. 1).
Water-soluble contrast enema shows a focal area of narrowing (white arrow) in the transverse colon with minimal passage of contrast into the proximal colon. A reveals an annular narrowing. After a period of time and increased contrast administration, the narrowing opened to a nearly normal caliber (B).
