“…"Icing sugar spleen" results when hyaline fibrous exudates coat the spleen. 4 This process is not pathologic and carries little clinical significance, although its appearance during exploration in an unstable patient could raise concern if one is unfamiliar with this pathology. This case demonstrates a cause of incarcerated small intestine following CABG, which has not previously been reported in the literature.…”

Intestinal non-rotation is an exceedingly rare clinical entity, especially as the etiology for small bowel obstruction following open-heart surgery in an elderly patient. Perisplenitis (also known as “sugar spleen”) is also rarely identified during exploratory laparotomy, and is more often encountered post-mortem due to its benign disease course. These two entities were encountered in the same acutely decompensating patient, and while unrelated, serve as a reminder of the importance of recognizing variations in anatomy and understanding subsequent clinical significance.
