Successful use of water-soluble contrast in patients with small bowel obstruction and virgin abdomen: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Nonoperative management of adhesive SBO is well established but remains a challenge in patients without prior abdominal surgery. We aim to report a case of successful nonoperative management with the use of enteral hypertonic water-soluble contrast administration in a patient with virgin abdomen.

Case Presentation: A healthy 24-year old man with no previous surgery presented to the emergency room with one day of abdominal pain.
