Figure 1 Abdominal radiograph (supine position) showing multiple air-filled, centrally located bowel loops. The American Journal of Medicine 2016 129, e277-e278DOI: (10.1016/j.amjmed.2016.04.032) Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

Figure 2 Computed tomography of the abdomen showing “target sign” of the small intestinal loops signifying an edematous bowel wall with circumferential wall thickening (straight arrows). These loops show a double rim of hyperdensity with the central lumen being of fluid density, in contrast to the normal appearing bowel loops seen (open arrowheads). Also noted are mesenteric vasculature leading on the loops (curved arrow) and massive ascites (asterisks).
