Fig. 5B 74-year-old man with abdominal distention. False-positive findings
were reported. Supine (A) and upright (B) abdominal radiographs
show dilated small bowel out of proportion to colon; condition causes
air-fluid levels (arrows, B). CT (not shown) performed later
same day revealed only ascites and no evidence of small-bowel obstruction.
