A sentinel loop is a sign seen on a radiograph that indicates localized ileus from nearby inflammation. It is an isolated distended loop of bowel near the site of injured viscus or inflamed organ, caused by local paralysis and accumulation of gas in the intestinal loop. In acute pancreatitis, cholecystitis, and appendicitis, the sentinel loop is usually seen in the left, right, and right lower quadrants respectively.
