Abstract
A 12-year-old girl was admitted to hospital with a week's history of severe abdominal pain, distension and generalised weakness, and was managed for incomplete intestinal obstruction. Plain abdominal films were compatible with ileus, and ultrasound showed no ascites, no lymphadenopathy, and normal abdominal and pelvic organs.
