Shock bowel after laparoscopic appendectomy
Oblique frontal colored CT scan of a 67-year female following laparoscopic appendectomy due to acute appendicitis. Notice arterial enhancement of thickened large bowel with abdominal swelling due to accumulation of intraluminal and intraperitoneal fluid to a lesser degree. CT hypoperfusion complex. Shock bowel. Disproportionate enlargement of the caudal lobe of the liver is an indirect sign of cirrhosis. A 64-slice CT scanner was used, with the thickness parameter set to 0.625 mm. A 100 ml iodine contrast with V = 5 ml/sec injection was administered prior to the scan.
