A: A thin, membrane-like sac encapsulating the small intestine in an abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography image (arrows); B: A thin, membrane-like sac encapsulating the small intestine from a different plane (arrows); C: The dilated gastric cavity (triangles) and the duodenal lumen (arrows) with fluid retention in the sagittal plane in an abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography image; D: The dilated gastric cavity (triangles) and the duodenal lumen (arrows) with fluid retention.
