A 72-year-old female with distal gastric carcinoma (thick arrow) as preoperatively depicted by CT (A) underwent total gastrectomy. On 6th POD the patient suffered from persistent abdominal pain and anemization. Postoperative CT (B-D) showed dilated fluid-filled duodenum (+) up to stapled DS, consistent with afferent limb syndrome, secondary to a large blood clot in the jejunum which was best seen as a hyperattenuating intraluminal mass (*) on precontrast (D) scans. Surgical reintervention was required to relieve obstruction
