Strangulation ileus caused by malposition of the ureter
Strangulation ileus, a severe acute abdomen condition, can be challenging to diagnose. This case highlights a rare cause: an atypical ureter position after stent placement leading to small intestine strangulation.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Urology
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Ileus, a critical acute abdomen diagnosis, presents diagnostic challenges.
- Prompt identification of strangulation ileus is vital to reduce morbidity and mortality.
- Conservative therapy is effective for some bowel obstructions, but not strangulation.

Esophageal Strictures-I: Introduction
Etiology
The primary cause of esophageal strictures is long-standing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), accounting for about 70 to 80% of adult cases. Chronic acid reflux can lead to injury and scarring of the esophageal lining, culminating in...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
Appendicitis-I: Introduction
Etiology: Appendicitis can arise from various causes, primarily rooted in the obstruction of the appendix lumen. Factors contributing to this obstruction include fecal accumulation, lymphoid hyperplasia and, in...
