GasThere is gas bubbles seen at the wall ofin small bowel loops as pneumatosis intestinalis.

Updates to Case Attributes
The finding in this case, especially with a history of previous abdominal operation for an appendicectomy, is mostly intestinal obstruction due to adhesion and result in impending small bowel ischaemia.
The patient underwent a surgical laparotomy, which revealed an adhesive segment that was removed, and an end-to-end anastomosis was performed.
The small bowel loops thats undergo obstructed still preserved viability thats was impending for ischaemia and were not resection.
Lipomatosis of the ileocaecal valve is a common incidental finding with variable sizes and is considered a normal variant.
