Core Tip	The management of patients who present with a small bowel obstruction (SBO) after treatment of primary carcinoma challenges the clinical judgement of even the most experienced surgeons when the feared cause is metastatic disease. It is difficult to predict whether the quality and/or the quantity of life in this group of patients will be improved by surgery. This study evaluated the clinical role of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in identifying SBOs and its role in subsequent clinical treatment strategies. We found that 18F-FDG PET/CT is an appropriate method to identity the causes of bowel obstructions secondary to gastric cancer, and this method is useful for the surgical management of these patients.
