Case Discussion
Small bowel obstruction due to an incarcerated ventral hernia. Notice the gradual gradation of oral contrast (fading white - gray) as it mixes with intraluminal fluid, which is not necessary in this case to make the diagnosis but can be helpful for problem-solving cases where the location/cause of obstruction is less clear.
