    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: CMUSE is a rare disease whose diagnosis remains difficult because the lesion is confined to the small bowel. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we present a case of 43-year-old female patient suffered chronic abdominal pain for 20 years, and finally diagnosed with CMUSE. Capsule endoscopy was performed when general endoscopic investigation failed to find the lesion, but the capsule was stranded in the small intestine. Moreover, capsule retention results in acute intestinal obstruction. Thus, surgery was performed and CMUSE was confirmed. The patient was recovered after partial small intestine resection. CONCLUSIONS: Capsule retention occurred in nearly 60% of patients with CMUSE. Capsule endoscopy should be avoided when the patient is suspected of CMUSE, especially with severe anemia and radiologic finding in the ileum.
