It is mostly asymptomatic but if it presents, then is usually seen with vague gastrointestinal complaints. Small bowel obstruction is a poorly recognized and possibly underreported complication.

A 32 year old man presented with one year history of post prandial nausea, abdominal bloating and bilious vomiting along with significant weight loss.
