case_images: Erect X-ray abdomen and pelvis showed multiple air-fluid levels [Figure 1a]. On exploratory laparotomy, multiple large ileal perforations (more than 10 perforations) were noted intraoperatively with many impending perforations in the distal ileum [Figure 1c]. Around 15 cm of proximal ileum containing 3-4 large perforations, which were almost appearing like near-complete bowel transactions [Figure 1b] was resected with the closing of around 8-9 distal perforations and inverting the areas with impending perforations. Angioinvasion was also noted [Figure 1d].
