Bowel Wall Hemorrhage and Obstruction from Coumadin Overdose on CT Scans

Findings
-The proximal small bowel is enlarged with high-density intramural thickening and regularly thickened folds.
-The stomach is dilated with normal wall thickness. The distal small bowel is normal in caliber.

Discussion
This patient overdosed on coumadin and the findings are due to a mural hemorrhage in the duodenum and proximal jejunum causing partial gastric outlet obstruction.
