Sagittal image (B) showing dilated small bowel loops (asterisk) in close relation to the tube (arrow). Consecutive axial images (C, D) showing swirl of jejunal loops (arrow) over the gastrostomy tube with resultant dilated proximal small bowel loops (asterisk) and completely collapsed small bowel loops distal to the tube (encircled).
