case_images: A CT abdomen and pelvis with IV, oral, and rectal contrasts was done, and showed regression of the previously seen left lumbar regional mesenteric swirling sign, with regression of the left upper quadrant located proximal jejunal loops distension, more caudally, the jejunal loops project lateral to the sigmoid in the left lumbar region suggesting medially located distal descending colon due to a dolichocolon extends up to left upper quadrant with no evidence bowel obstruction (Figure 3).

case_images: The patient was taken to the operating room the following day where he underwent diagnostic laparoscopy which revealed collapsed distal jejunal loops and dilated proximal loops (Figure 4), a V-shaped intersigmoid fossa containing jejunal loops (Figure 5), and lateral abdominal wall adhesions creating a defect.
