  		Figure 1. (a) Coronal T2 weighted images identify dilated loops of small bowel (indicated by the white arrow) from the left upper quadrant down to the level of the ileostomy in the right iliac fossa (indicated by the black arrow). (b) Axial image at the level of the stoma identifies a change in calibre, (indicated by the white arrow) from dilated small bowel to collapsed bowel adjacent to the uterus indicating the compressive effect of the uterus to be the cause of obstruction. (c) Dilated loops of small bowel in the midline posterior to the uterus (indicated by the white arrow).
