Description | Background: Authors have continued clinical practice with reconstruction method of computed tomography (CT).
Case presentation: We have experienced 78-year-old male of acute abdomen complaining strong abdominal pain. Result: Laboratory test showed WBC 14800 /μL, and CT showed two high-density lesions in right middle and left upper abdomen, which has 143/214 Hounsfield unit, respectively. They suggest small bowel obstruction (SBO) by traditional Japanese rice cake (mochi). He was treated conservatively with infusion and relieved. Discussion: Rice cake may cause various problems, such as ileus, gastric ulcer, perforation and suffocation. This report becomes hopefully a reference for future practice and research. |
