Two Cases of Nonspecific Multiple Ulcers of the Small Intestine Causing Ileus

We report two cases of nonspecific multiple ulcers of the small intestine causing ileus. Case 1: A 26-year-old man admitted for repeated symptoms of ileus was found x-ray examination of the small intestine to have multiple ulcers with fold convergency and circular stenoses in the ileum. Ilectomy and stricturoplasty were done based on a diagnosis of ileus due to ulcers of the small intestine. Case 2: A 31-year-old man admitted for repeated symptoms of ileus and anemia was found retrograde enterography to have irregular ulcers and stenoses in the terminal ileum. Ilectomy was done based on a diagnosis of ileus due to ulcers of the small intestine. In both cases, resected specimens showed circular ulcers and ulcer scars forming stenoses. Histological findings showed most ulcers were Ul-II, and fibrosis was prominent in stenoses. Both cases were diagnosised as nonspecific multiple ulcers of the small intestine causing ileus.
