Abstract
A 52-yr-old lady with RA on long term NSAIDs developed an iron-deficiency anaemia and subsequently presented with subacute intestinal obstruction. After intensive investigation, a diagnosis of diaphragm disease of the small intestine was made at laparotomy. The features of diaphragm disease and the difficulties with diagnosis and management of the condition are discussed.
