pubmed:abstractText |
A 13-year-old girl presented to the emergency room at her local hospital with an acute onset of vomiting, severe abdominal pain and distension. There was evidence of small-bowel obstruction on plain abdominal x-ray. Throughout the girl's adolescent years she was admitted to hospital numerous times for recurrent abdominal symptoms and underwent multiple sequential laparotomies. She had marked weight loss and a poor quality of life. The patient's symptoms were initially managed with intravenous fluids, bowel rest, and nasogastric decompression of the upper gut.
