ABSTRACT
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs] are associated with the development of diaphragm disease. We report a 73-year-old male patient with this condition who had used NSAIDs for 2 years. He presented with general weakness, syncopal attacks, and a short history of melena. At laparotomy, multiple areas of constricted bowel were found in the resected proximal jejunum. Gross and microscopic examination confirmed diaphragm disease. The relevant literature is reviewed
