Abstract
A 69-year-old man, otherwise well, except for ischaemic heart disease and asthma, presented with a 2 year history of crampy abdominal pain relieved with vomiting, intermittent diarrhoea up to 15 times per day and associated 20kg weight loss. Physical examination revealed a soft abdomen with mild distension. Initial laboratory data were normal. Multiple stool cultures were negative. Plain abdominal radiography and CT revealed dilatation of multiple loops of small and large bowel.
