title: A young woman with abdominal pain.
abstract: Patients rarely present with solely a physical problem. While psychological overlay and social factors expand the differential diagnosis and modify management, physical dangers should not be forgotten. Disruption of the family unit isolates individuals and requires extra consideration from the caring practitioner, as in the case of Sarah Leigh.
