Small Bowel Obstruction Small Bowel Obstruction Ileus Obstruktif Letak Rendah Large Bowel Obstruction Large Bowel Obstruction Anteroposterior supine abdominal radiograph in a 67- year-old man with LBO shows dilated ascending, transverse, and descending colon. A transition point is identified in the region of splenic flexure from an obstructing colon carcinoma (arrow). Plain abdominal radiograph in a 6- year-old boy who presented with vomiting and acute pain in the right iliac fossa. The loops of the small bowel are dilated, and associated with small calcific nodules in the right iliac fossa are seen. These findings are suggestive of appendicoliths. At laparotomy, an appendiceal mass was found; this caused the small- bowel obstruction. Pneumoperitonium Free Intraperitoneal Air Large collection of gas Abdominal distension, no gastric air-fluid level "Football sign" = large pneumoperitoneum outlining entire abdominal cavity "Double wall sign" = "Rigler sign" = air on both sides of bowel as intraluminal gas and free air outside (usually requires >1,000 mL of free intraperitoneal gas + intraperitoneal fluid) "Telltale triangle sign" = triangular air pocket between 3 loops of bowel Depiction of diaphragmatic muscle slips = two or three 6-13 cm long and 8-10 mm wide arcuate soft-tissue bands directed vertically inferiorly + arching parallel to diaphragmatic dome superiorly outline of ligaments of anterior inferior abdominal wall: "Inverted V sign" = outline of both lateral umbilical ligaments (containing inferior epigastric vessels) Outline of medial umbilical ligaments (obliterated umbilical arteries) "Urachus sign" = outline of middle umbilical ligament Double wall sign/ Rigler Sign Riglers Sign RUQ gas (best place to look for small collections)Single large area of hyperlucency over the liver
Oblique linear area of hyperlucency outlining the posteroinferior margin of liver
Doge's cap sign = triangular collection of gas in Morrison pouch (posterior hepatorenal space) Outline of falciform ligament = long vertical line to the right of midline extending from ligamentum teres notch to umbilicus; most common structure outlined Lligamentum teres notch = inverted V-shaped area of hyperlucency along undersurface of liver Ligamentum teres sign = air outlining fissure of ligamentum teres hepatis (= posterior free edge of falciform ligament) seen as vertically oriented sharply defined slitlike / oval area of hyperlucency between 10th and 12th rib within 2.5- 4.0 cm of right vertebral border 2-7 mm wide and 6-20 mm long "Saddlebag / mustache / cupola sign" = gas trapped below central tendon of diaphragm Parahepatic air = gas bubble lateral to right edge of liver Saddle Bag sign Initial abdominal film, in left lateral decubitus position demonstrating large amount of free air (black arrows), dilated loops of bowel (double white arrows) and inferior and medial displacement of the liver (saddle bag sign [triple clear arrows]). Ileus Paralitik Anterior subhepatic space free air Doges cap sign/morrison pouch Air anterior to ventral surface liver Riglers sign Decubitus abdomen sign Falciform Ligament Sign The football sign Continous diaphragm sign Double bubble sign The cupola sign Lesser sac Gas The triangle sign Abcess Gas Pneumoretroperitonium Uracus Sign The inverted V sign Leaping Dolphins sign Ligamentum teres sign
