Upon admission to our facility, she presented with marked abdominal swelling and prominent kyphosis. Because of the kyphosis, most of the dilated bowel was compressing her thoracic cavity. No obvious strangulation or free air was observed via abdominal computed tomography imaging. We attempted decompression using a nasogastric tube, but the symptoms persisted. Surgery was performed 2 days after admission. The origin of the obstruction was a compression of the ileocecal region by the costal arch. The bowel was discolored, and thus surgically excised. There were no major postsurgical complications other than a mild wound infection. Until now, there have been no reports of advanced kyphosis inducing ileus, but there are concerns of an increase in similar cases as society continues to age.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.9738\/intsurg-d-12-00003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,8,23]],"date-time":"2013-08-23T16:23:05Z","timestamp":1377274985000},"page":"254-258","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A Case of Intestinal Obstruction Caused by Prominent Kyphosis Resulting in Compression of the Intestine by the Costal Arch"],"prefix":"10.9738","volume":"98","author":[{"given":"Satoshi","family":"Yoneyama","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, National Hospital Organization Mito Medical Center, Ibaraki, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takehito","family":"Kato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, National Hospital Organization Mito Medical Center, Ibaraki, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tetsuya","family":"Yumoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, National Hospital Organization Mito Medical Center, Ibaraki, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masami","family":"Ohwada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, National Hospital Organization Mito Medical Center, Ibaraki, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Toru","family":"Terashima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, National Hospital Organization Mito Medical Center, Ibaraki, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masanori","family":"Koizumi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, National Hospital Organization Mito Medical Center, Ibaraki, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hamaichi","family":"Ueki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, National Hospital Organization Mito Medical Center, Ibaraki, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"4721","reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"i0020-8868-98-3-254-b01","series-title":"Ann R Coll Surg Engl","first-page":"320","article-title":"A review of the management of small bowel obstruction","volume":"81","author":"Wilson\n              MS,","year":"1999","unstructured":"Wilson\n              MS, \n            \n              Ellis\n              H, \n            \n              Menzies\n              D, \n            \n              Moran\n              BJ, \n            \n              Parker\n              MC, \n            \n              Thompson\n              JN. \n          \n          A review of the management of small bowel obstruction.
