Idiopathic small bowel diaphragm disease: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Small bowel diaphragm disease is a rare condition usually associated with the prolonged use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) and that can be mistaken and treated as other pathologies. We describe a case of a 64-year-old man with a prolonged course of pain and subacute bowel obstructions, without any history of NSAID usage, found to have a multiple diaphragmatic stricture in the small bowel.
