• Collapse

  The small bowel is disproportionately dilated compared the the large bowel which is collapsed. There is no air in the rectosigmoid (white arrow). [learningradiology.com]

  CT scan revealed a transition point between dilated proximal loops of small bowel and collapsed distal loops. [omicsonline.org]

  Something outside the GI tract can also cause an obstruction if it presses on and collapses the GI tract. When there is a blockage, the intestinal contractions that move the food can cause intense pain. These movements are called peristalsis. [cancer.net]

  Manual reduction of inguinal hernia is unacceptable. [elearning.sumdu.edu.ua]

  Parents may see a bulge in the groin area when an inguinal hernia is present. Incarceration occurs only rarely after eight years of age. [healthofchildren.com]

  It is also important to look for possible causes of obstruction such as inguinal hernias so always include a genitourinary examination. [saem.org]

  Femoral hernia is at high risk of obstruction. Inguinal hernia is a lower risk factor but it is much more common. Place a stethoscope on the abdomen to listen for bowel sounds. [patient.info]

  (abdominal wall, inguinal, or femoral): note that if hernia contents are soft and reducible, the hernia is unlikely the cause of the obstruction. [clinicaladvisor.com]

• Abdominal Distension

  The following symptoms may be experienced with cecal volvulus: ballooning abdomen (abdominal distension) constipation diarrhea trouble passing gas severe abdominal pain vomiting Diagnosing cecal volvulus may be difficult because its symptoms mimic those [healthline.com]

  Clinical features Classic presentations of small bowel obstruction include: crampy abdominal pain nausea and vomiting abdominal distension constipation. [surgwiki.com]

  Abdominal distension will be apparent. It may be worth measuring abdominal girth to monitor progress. Massive peristalsis may even by visible. Distended bowel is very resonant on percussion. [patient.info]

  On physical exam the patient has marked abdominal distension and is tympanic to percussion. Laboratory studies are notable for a lactic acidosis. [medbullets.com]

  Any patient who has had previous abdominal surgery and presents with abdominal pain, distension, vomiting and decreased flatus should be considered to have a small bowel obstruction. [saem.org]
