Figure 1: Fig. 1a shows the gross appearance of the gangrenous small bowel loops adjacent to the viable bowel loops after laporotomy, about 25 cm in length upto approximately 15 cm proximal to the ileo ceacal junction.
Fig. 1b shows milking of the proximal bowel being done following resection, which revealed both live and dead roundworms. Resection was done till the healthy bowel end denoted by bleeding from the cut bowel ends.
Fig. 1c shows the whole resected gangrenous segment of small bowel along with the dead and alive roundworms milched from both the proximal and the distal ends of the bowel during laporotomy.
