Abstract

A case of afferent loop syndrome demonstrated by computed tomography (CT) is described. To our knowledge, no CT findings of this syndrome have been illustrated in the literature. This syndrome can be definitely diagnosed by CT when a U-shaped cystic mass continuous with the biliary system is demonstrated behind the superior mesenteric artery.
