case_images: A CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis obtained on the day of admission demonstrated a history of prior gastric bypass surgery with mild distention of small bowel loops on the right side (Figure 1).
case_images: SBFT shows mild bowel distention consistent with ileus (red arrow), without definitive evidence of obstruction.. SBFT: small bowel follow-through

case_images: A small bowel follow-through (SBFT) performed later showed mild bowel distention consistent with ileus, without definitive evidence of obstruction (Figure 2).
case_images: CT abdomen and pelvis with IV contrast (axial view) demonstrates dilated loops of small bowel along the anterior abdominal wall (red arrows) extending into the pelvis (yellow arrow), without evidence of any definite free air.. CT: computed tomography; IV: intravenous
