Solifenacin-induced small bowel pseudo-obstruction.

An 89-year-old woman was admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital with a small bowel obstruction and symptoms of urinary retention. She had been started on solifenacin for bladder overactivity 10 days prior to her presentation. Withdrawal of the solifenacin resulted in a full recovery, which has persisted for greater than 6 months without surgical intervention. This is the first reported case report of small bowel pseudo-obstruction due to solifenacin.
