Abstract

Rationale: Small bowel diaphragm disease (SBDD) is a rare case, caused by long-term administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The circumferential diaphragm in the lumen of small bowel causing mechanical obstruction is the characteristic finding. Patient concerns: A 74-year-old male was transferred to Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital (PNUYH) due to abdominal pain lasting for 2 months. He was treated in the local medical center (LMC) with Levin tube insertion and Nil Per Os (NPO) but showed no improvement. Diagnosis: According to abdomen-pelvis computed tomography (CT) result, small bowel obstruction due to the adhesion band was identified, showing dilatation of the small bowel with abrupt narrowing of the ileum. Interventions: Laparoscopic exploration was done but failed to find an adhesion band. An investigation of the whole small bowel was done with mini-laparotomy. At the transitional zone, the intraluminal air could not pass so the segmental resection of small bowel including the transitional zone and end-to-end anastomosis was done. Outcomes: After surgery, every laboratory finding recovered to the normal range in 4 days, but the patient’s ileus lasted for 8 days. The patient’s symptoms were relieved after defecation, he was discharged on postoperative day 10. Lessons: For patients who show mechanical obstruction without an operation history but with long-term administration of NSAIDs, the clinicians should suspect small bowel diaphragm disease.
