Abstract EN
This case highlights one of the infrequent complications of a commonly abused substance.
A particular high index of suspicion of ischemic bowel is associated with cocaine abuse and should be included in the differential diagnosis of any young adult or middle-aged patient with abdominal pain and/or bloody diarrhea, particularly in the absence of other predisposing factors.
To our knowledge, we report a rare case of ischemic small bowel associated with gangrene and pneumatosis intestinalis due to cocaine abuse.Erratum to “Small Intestinal Ischemia with Pneumatosis in a Young Adult: What Could Be the Cause?”dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/846037
