    Summary

    Afferent loop syndrome can occur after Billroth II gastrectomy. Computed tomography (CT) scans reveal a distinct appearance for this obstruction, as shown in four patient cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Billroth type II gastrectomy is a surgical procedure that can lead to complications.
    • Afferent loop syndrome is a potential post-operative complication following this type of gastrectomy.
    • Understanding the imaging characteristics of this syndrome is crucial for diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the characteristic computed tomography (CT) appearance of afferent loop syndrome.
    • To present four cases of afferent loop syndrome diagnosed using CT.
    • To highlight the utility of CT in identifying this specific post-gastrectomy complication.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of four patient cases with afferent loop syndrome.
    • Analysis of computed tomography (CT) imaging findings in these patients.
    • Correlation of CT findings with clinical presentation and surgical outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Afferent loop syndrome presented with a characteristic CT appearance in all four cases.
    • CT imaging successfully identified the obstruction in the afferent loop.
    • The findings underscore CT's role in diagnosing this condition.

    Conclusions:

    • Afferent loop syndrome has a recognizable pattern on CT scans.
    • CT is an effective imaging modality for diagnosing afferent loop syndrome post-Billroth II gastrectomy.
    • Early diagnosis via CT can facilitate timely management.
