I agree the CT findings are consistent with a partial small bowel obstruction that has resolved on its own. These are often caused by scar tissue (adhesions) from previous abdominal surgery. The scar tissue can be cut and released to prevent future obstructions via a laparoscopic procedure. That might be in young hubbies future. Not fun but better than repeated bowel obstructions.

Hi slkanowitz. My husband has had open heart surgery but nothing to do with the lower GI track. We'll be moving forward with a GI doctor, hopefully sooner than later. Good news, he's doing well at the moment. Thanks.
