  • Title: Multiple indomethacin-induced jejunal ulcerations with perforation: a case report with histology.
    Author: Risty GM, Najarian MM, Shapiro SB.
    Journal: Am Surg; 2007 Apr; 73(4):344-6. PubMed ID: 17439025.
    Abstract:
    Gastric and duodenal inflammation and ulceration are well-known complications of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) usage. However, small bowel ulceration and perforation secondary to NSAID use is uncommon and has rarely been reported in the literature. We describe a perforated jejunal ulcer that developed in a patient using indomethacin for treatment of ankylosing spondylitis. We performed a literature review of NSAID-induced small bowel injury and compared the histology of NSAID-related injury with more familiar causes of small bowel perforation.
