Giant bilateral Krukenberg tumors are rarely seen, especially causing complications due to their size. We present a 35-year-old female, diagnosed with carcinoma rectum one year back, now presented to us with intestinal obstruction features. Imaging was suggestive of features of acute intestinal obstruction. Intraoperatively, we found that the patient had bilateral giant ovarian cysts, which compressed the proximal part of the descending colon, causing the obstruction. The patient underwent bilateral excision of the ovarian cyst with diversion sigmoid colostomy. Postoperatively the patient was started on palliative chemotherapy.

: Bouveret syndrome, a rare and often underdiagnosed variant of gallstone ileus, is characterized by the presence of a large gallstone impacted in the proximal duodenum, resulting in significant gastric outlet obstruction and aerobilia. Early identification of Bouveret syndrome is crucial for developing an appropriate surgical strategy. : A 76-year-old female underwent a contrast-enhanced abdominal CT scan, which revealed a cholecysto-duodenal fistula with a 3.

Ascaridia galli causes weight loss, emaciation, anemia, decreased egg production, and sometimes, intestinal obstruction and death in birds, leading to economic losses in the poultry industry. This research aimed to record the occurrence of A. galli in free-range chickens at farmers' houses in three villages in Ashmoun City, Minoufiya Governorate, Egypt.

Objectives: To assess the diagnostic accuracy, in a validation cohort, of a score based on three CT items, which has shown good performance for predicting ischaemia complicating acute adhesive small-bowel obstruction (SBO).
Methods: This retrospective single-centre study of diagnostic accuracy included consecutive patients admitted for acute adhesive SBO in 2015-2022, who were treated conservatively or underwent surgery within 24 h after CT. The gold standard for ischaemia was an intraoperative diagnosis for operated patients, while the absence of ischaemia was confirmed either by its absence during surgery or by clinical follow-up in patients who did not undergo surgery.

A "barium chemobezoar" or "barolith" is a rare but serious cause of intestinal obstruction. We present two cases, a 70-year-old female patient and a 61-year-old male patient, both requiring urgent surgery for barolith-induced bowel obstruction. Diagnostic challenges were encountered in both cases, with imaging raising suspicion for barolith formation after prior barium use.
