Abdominal Tuberculosis Complicated by Intestinal Perforation

Figure 1

Ultrasound imaging reveals submucosal ileal wall thickening (a) (arrow) and free and loculated ascites (b) (arrow). Subsequent contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography showing ascites (asterix) and free air (arrow) in the peritoneal cavity in close relation to affected terminal ileum wall (c). Laparotomy showed many adhesions and focal omental thickening adhering to a thickened distal ileum loop cavity (d) (arrow).
