Abstract
Background: An 87-year-old man was admitted urgently with abdominal pain, distension and absolute constipation for 48 hours. A plain abdominal radiograph confirmed small bowel obstruction and blood tests revealed a raised CRP (7 mg/ml) with normal hematology, renal function, liver function and LDH.
