case_images: (a): A point of care ultrasound (POCUS) image of the lower abdomen using a curvilinear probe showing a thickened and edematous bowel wall (arrow) and enhancement of the pericolonic fat (star). (b): A point of care ultrasound (POCUS) image of the lower abdomen showing a dilated loop of bowel by the bladder (star) with evidence of free-fluid (arrow) and enhancement of pericolonic fat.

case_images: Abdominal POCUS was performed, which showed bowel wall thickening of 0.54 cm (Figure 1a) and free fluid surrounding an area of thickened bowel with enhancement of pericolonic fat (Figure 1b). 
case_images: (a): A point of care ultrasound (POCUS) image of the abdomen with a curvilinear probe showing a dilated loop of small bowel (arrow) with free fluid (dashed arrow), and a visualization of the bladder (star). (b): A point of care ultrasound (POCUS) image of the abdomen showing dilated loops of small bowel with evidence of hyperechoic foci within the bowel wall (arrow) and the presence of free intra-abdominal fluid (star). (c): A point of care ultrasound (POCUS) image of the right upper quadrant in sagittal orientation showing a-lines within the abdomen (arrow) with reverberation artifact.

case_images: A repeat POCUS was performed which revealed free intraabdominal fluid, dilated loops of small bowel (Figure 2a, b), evidence of hyperechoic foci within the bowel wall (Figure 2b), and a-lines within the abdomen concerning for pneumatosis (Figure 2c).
