Fig. 2From: Proximal small bowel obstruction in a patient with cystic fibrosis: a case reportDilated loops of bowel. Intraoperatively, hyperemia and dilation of the proximal small bowel was noted from the distal duodenum to the mid-jejunum. Hypervascularity of the bowel wall is suggestive of vascular congestion secondary to increased luminal pressures exceeding venous pressures. There was no evidence of ischemia, necrosis, or perforationBack to article page
