Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A 57-year-old male presented with a complete small bowel obstruction. Computed tomography confirmed an obvious transition point in the distal ileum, as well as an adjacent small bowel target sign. At exploratory laparotomy, the CT target sign had been caused by an obstructing phytobezoar cast ejected from a Meckel's diverticulum.
