Colonic strictures are a rare complication reported to result from chronic use of sustained release formulations of indomethacin and diclofenac. Such strictures often present with associated mucosal ulceration and are thought to result from nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug-induced alterations in enterocyte homeostasis. Strictures generally occur in the cecum, ascending, and proximal transverse colon with symptoms of occult blood loss, obstruction, changes in bowel habits, and rarely, perforation. The first reported case of a 69-year-old woman who developed recurrent colonic strictures with inflammatory changes and mucosal ulceration while taking Lodine (etodolac) is presented. A brief review of the relevant literature and suggested preventative therapies are discussed.
