case_images: (a-f) CECT scan of the lower abdomen showing dilated bowel segments and fat-intense soft tissue lesions in the mesentery. White solid arrows indicating the small bowel lipomatosis (a and b) with the white interrupted circle (in a) showing rotated mesentery. Intraoperative findings of increased adipose tissue forming nodular masses along the mesentery (c, e, and f) and a volvulus segment relieved by detorsion and ileo-ileum anastomosis (d).

case_images: CECT revealed features likely of midgut volvulus resulting in intestinal obstruction with long segmental ileal lipomatosis (Figures 1(a) and 1(b)). The ileal segment of 45 cm containing lipomatous swellings was resected after detorsion of jejunal volvulus and hand-sewn double layer end-to--to-end ileo-ileal anastomosis was done (Figures 1(c), 1(d), and 1(e)).
