case_images: Axial contrast-enhanced CT images of the upper abdomen. (A) Superior mesenteric artery (black arrow) is abnormally located to the right of the superior mesenteric vein (white arrowhead). (B) Abnormally positioned small bowel around the SMA (black arrow) with a characteristic swirling pattern, consistent with midgut volvulus. (C) Small bowel dilatation (asterisk) secondary to small bowel obstruction due to midgut volvulus.
