Fig. 7B —50-year-old man with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.
Upright abdominal radiograph shows scattered colonic air–fluid levels in
periphery of abdomen. Note multiple tiny air–fluid levels in central
abdomen that are in small bowel (arrows) and represent dilated
fluid-filled loops of small bowel with tiny amounts of gas, the
string-of-pearls sign. At surgery, distal small-bowel obstruction caused by
adhesion was found.
