Abstract
The patient suffered recent acute pain in the right iliac fossa. Admission to hospital was necessary, and a plain x-ray of the abdomen revealed loops of dilated small bowel. A gastrograffin enema indicated deformity of the ileocecal region. The patient’s condition settled and he was discharged from hospital and transferred for further investigations.
