Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug Induced Small Bowel Web Managed by Strictureplasty

Abstract

Small bowel obstructions (SBOs) are usually caused by adhesions, neoplasms, hernias or inflammatory strictures. Intramural strictures are an uncommon cause of SBO. Here we report a case of a 45-year-old female with recurrent small intestinal obstruction caused by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) induced small bowel strictures. NSAID stricture in the small bowel was discovered by capsule endoscopy. Strictureplasty was done after presentation with small bowel obstruction.
