case_images: Urgent abdominal CT (computed tomography) was performed, which indicated a severe large bowel obstruction secondary to herniation of transverse colon into an incisional hernia at the previous colostomy reversal site (Figure 1).
case_images: Axial CT showing significantly dilated caecum.

case_images: The proximal large bowel was dilated up to 54 mm and the caecum was dilated up to 93 mm in maximum diameter (Figure 2).
case_images: Coronal CT showing caecum measured from the anterior superior iliac spine and the lateral abdominal wall.

case_images: Using sagittal and axial CT images, the vertical distance from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the anterior abdominal wall skin to the caecum was measured (Figure 3).
