A 44-year-old male patient with a known history of familial Mediterranean fever and Crohn’s disease. He had had surgery for small bowel obstruction a few days previously and then complained of abdominal pain and fever. MR enterography (a) axial fat-saturated true-FISP image demonstrates a thickened wall of adjacent small bowel loops (white arrows) with a small amount of free fluid in the peritoneal cavity (open arrow) and some mesenteric fat infiltration.

Free air (arrowhead) after the recent operation and a horseshoe kidney are seen
