Notice the residual pneumoperitoneum and gas at the abdominal wall scar (arrows).

Notice that peritoneal fluid extends posterior to segment 7 (yellow arrows) because there is no longer a bare area due to the detachment of the coronary and triangular ligaments. Of note is the presence of a small pocket of residual gas after surgery (red arrow).

Notice numerous septa (arrows). (B) Corresponding CT scan clearly demonstrates the fluid collection indenting on the liver contour (FL). Periportal low attenuation is due to periportal edema.

CT scan shows extensive fluid collection with multiple gas pockets (yellow arrows) located intraperitoneally and extending from the anterior prehepatic space to the left upper quadrant surrounding the spleen. Of note is the presence of an infarction in the spleen (red arrows).

The internal echoes suggest a particulate composition of the collections, in this case, due to hemorrhagic content. (B) Axial unenhanced CT reveals high-attenuation appearance typical of hematomas in this elongated perihepatic collection (arrows).

Notice jejunal wall thickening (red arrows), as well as mesenteric haziness due to edema (asterisk). Ascitic fluid (A) is also noted.

Notice the so-called “accordion sign” characteristic of pseudomembranous colitis (red arrow). Moderate ascites is seen adjacent to the colon. Notice umbilical recanalized collateral varices (short arrow).
