Mucosal diaphragm and enteroliths of the small bowel causing obstruction in an adult.
A case of an ileal mucosal diaphragm with enteroliths causing obstruction in a 67-year-old man is reported. The distal site of the mucosal diaphragm, its relative patency, and the late formation of enteroliths, are thought to be the reasons for the delayed clinical manifestations of intestinal obstruction leading to the diagnosis of the abnormality.
