Young adult with a gastrojejunostomy tube and chronic abdominal pain

Gastrointestinal
CT of gastrojejunostomy tube causing duodenal-jejunal intussusception
Axial (above) CT with contrast of the abdomen shows a round soft tissue mass to the right of the vertebral body that has a target sign appearance and that has a jejunostomy tube coursing in the center of it. Coronal CT (below) shows the soft tissue mass to be long in length and to comprise the second and third parts of the duodenum and the proximal jejunum and to have the jejunostomy tube coursing throughout its length.

The diagnosis was gastrojejunostomy tube malfunction due to the formation of a duodenal-jejunal intussuception forming around the tip of the jejunostomy tube.
