Figure 1 X-ray examination revealed poor aeration of the small intestine in the lower abdomen, along with the presence of air-fluid levels. A: Front view; B: Lateral view.

Figure 2 Computed tomography scan reveals a definitive obstruction site, along with visible exudation around the intestinal tract. A: The intestinal tract is disorganized and air-fluid levels are also observed; B: The obstruction point is located below and to the left of the umbilicus; C: The intestinal wall at the point of obstruction is thickened, with pronounced exudation from the surrounding intestinal tract; D: The colon and rectum are collapsed.

Figure 3 Computed tomography scan reveals soft tissue structures surrounding the small intestine. A: Soft tissue structures surround the small intestine; B: Small intestine is pulled, exhibiting a distinctive "accordion-like" appearance.

Figure 4 Intraoperative images reveal a substantial membranous structure enveloping the small intestine, with no adhesions observed between the membranous structure and the peritoneum.
