Figure 3
Gross appearance of small intestinal mucosal injury. (a) Multiple rounds, ovoid erosions, and ulcers were scattered in the small intestinal mucosa. Small erosions and ulcers measured from 0.1 mm to 1.5 mm in diameter. (b) A large ulcer created an 11.0 mm long circumferential band-like mucosal defect. The wall was thin and appeared transparent with impending perforation. (c) Spotty epithelial hemorrhages and bloody luminal content were present.
