Volvulus

Disgusting. Worst Easter treat ever.
I saw this CT with contrast for volvulus on one of the lectures and it totally looked like a Peep! Volvulus is a twisting of the mesentery (usually of the sigmoid colon or cecum) and also turns up as a "coffee bean" on a plain abdominal film. The beak of the Peep is the point where the twisting occurs.
