Discussion:

Patient died shortly after the CT scan. Key learning points:

  • signs of severe hypotension in this case are: hyperenhancing adrenal glands (preferential blood flow); hypoenhancement of the liver and spleen (subjective) and bilateral striated nephrograms
  • pneumatosis intestinalis is a sign of bowel infarction (but can have other causes)
