A loop of small bowel (CL) is obstructed twice at the same point of twist (solid white arrow) producing a closed loop. No oral contrast enters the closed loop but is present in a more proximal loop of small bowel (dotted white arrow). Closed-loop obstructions are important because of t...

Stagnant or blind-loop syndrome includes vitamin B12 malabsorption, steatorrhea, and bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine. A case is presented to demonstrate this syndrome occurring after small-bowel irradiation injury with exaggeration postenterocolic by-pass. Alteration of normal small-bowel flora...

A CT scan revealed a closed-loop small bowel obstruction, but the diagnosis of a spontaneous transomental hernia was confirmed during emergency diagnostic laparoscopy. The small bowel remained viable, avoiding the need for resection, and the patient had an uncomplicated postoperative recovery. Clinical...
