ABSTRACT
El estreñimiento es un cuadro clínico muy frecuente en nuestras consultas, en principio de fácil abordaje y por tanto fácil de obviar en ciertos casos la exploración física y la realización de alguna prueba complementaria, que se puede considerar de poca importancia inicialmente. Pero en ocasiones puede ser causa de dolor continuo e innumerables molestias para la persona que lo presenta, llegando a producir cuadros clínicos graves. Presentamos un caso en el que nuestro paciente presentaba este tipo de enfermedad como antecedente y tras la realización de una breve anamnesis y una correcta y rápida exploración se convirtió en una urgencia quirúrgica (AU)
Constipation is a common health problem in our clinics. At first, we think that a physical examination and additional tests are not necessary. This condition may be considered unimportant initially, but it can give rise to ongoing pain, discomfort, for the many who suffer from it, and sometimes can present with severe clinical symptoms. We present a case of a patient presented with this condition, and after conducting a brief anamnesis and a complete and rapid physical examination, the patient was finally treated as a surgical emergency (AU)
