Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common illness encountered by general surgeons. However, obstruction caused by diaphragm disease induced by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) is exceedingly rare. The diagnosis is challenging as the signs and symptoms are neither sensitive nor specific. We report the case of a 59-year-old male who presented with SBO secondary to this uncommon condition. We hope to raise awareness of this unusual entity.
小肠梗阻(SBO)是普通外科医生常遇到的一种疾病。然而,由非甾体抗炎药(NSAID)诱发的膈疾病导致的梗阻极为罕见。由于体征和症状既不敏感也不具有特异性,因此诊断具有挑战性。我们报告一例59岁男性因这种罕见情况继发小肠梗阻的病例。我们希望提高对这一罕见病症的认识。
