(A) Case 1: Small bowel obstruction (SBO) with a transition within the terminal ileum due and an endoluminal foreign body in the cecum (consistent with a retained reservoir). (B) Case 1: Diagnostic laparoscopy revealing a thickened terminal ileum, walled-off perforation in the RLQ, thought to be due to reservoir entry into the small bowel. (C) Case 2: Computed tomography (CT) scan with dilated loops of small bowel with an abrupt transition point in the RLQ adjacent to the retained reservoir. (D) Case 2: Exploratory laparotomy revealing a SBO with the reservoir and tubing embedded into the small bowel wall.
