A 79-year-old lady was being worked up and treated for encephalitis with antibiotics and an antiviral. On Day 13, she developed abdominal pain, and an ultrasound showed cholelithiasis but no cholecystitis; thus conservative treatment was advocated. By Day 18, pain localized to the right iliac fossa, and she had an emergency laparotomy that showed bowel ischemia and perforation of the caecum with the cause being a terminal ileal adhesional band. An extended right hemicolectomy and ileostomy was performed. Patients with significant comorbidities who are intensive care unit-dependent may still have unexpected clinical challenges. We advocate an increased clinical vigilance in this cohort for unexpected life-threatening presentations such as bowel ischemia and more specifically the cause of the bowel ischemia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjz267","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,15]],"date-time":"2019-08-15T19:10:12Z","timestamp":1565896212000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["An
