Small Bowel Obstruction due to Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug-induced Diaphragm Disease: A Case Report.

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.
