case_images: a There is a small free fluid area noted between the bowel loops with possible small localized fluid collection seen posterior to the mesh and anterior to the cecum. b Suspicion 1 mm focal defect within the anterior cecal wall

case_images: Tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and pelvis was done which showed diffuse wall thickening of the cecum and terminal ileum with abnormal configuration of the cecum and ill definition of its anterior wall with small free air worrisome for perforation (Fig. 1a & b). The decision was made in the ER to discharge him home on antibiotics.

case_images: CT scan was ordered again and showed the same findings. Colonoscopy was ordered which showed small polyp that was removed and revealed benign adenoma, also showed a small solid structure in the cecum (Fig. 2).

case_images: The colonoscopy showed a polypoidal mass that was biopsied and showed granulating tissues (Fig. 3).
case_images: A mesh graft is noted at the level of the cecum and medial to that a dense opacity of about 7.7 x 6.7 x 4 cm noted, which is medially of low attenuation and contains some air bubbles. (Inflammatory process or infectious process at the level of the cecum medial to the mesh)

case_images: CT scan of abdomen and pelvis was repeated which demonstrated opacity at the level of the cecum with dense opacity medial to it of low attenuation and contains some air bubbles (Fig. 4).

case_images: Another colonoscopy was done which showed a small mass in the cecum (Fig. 5) that was biopsied and revealed to be granulating tissues, the patient was referred to the primary surgeon who reassured the patient and gave him a follow up appointment in one-year time.
case_images: a A foreign object that has migrated into the colon. b recurrence of a hernia shown. c thickening of the medial wall of the cecum with mesh graft material and extension of the mesh graft material through the cecal wall

case_images: A CT Colonography was ordered which showed a foreign object in the colon, possibly caused bleeding per rectum where the patient was referred back to the surgeon (Fig. 6a). A CT scan revealed recurrence of a periumbilical hernia and thickening of the medial wall of the cecum with mesh graft material that could suggest a complication of the previous ventral hernia repair with extension of the mesh graft through the cecal wall (Fig. 6b & c).
