Colonic diaphragm disease secondary to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use

Abstract

Diaphragm disease is a rare condition associated with the long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and can lead to severe complications. Most strictures occur in the small bowel, and occurrence in the colon is rare. We report a case of an asymptomatic patient with colonic diaphragm disease secondary to NSAID use.
