Abstract

A 31-year-old woman was admitted for a cesarean section. Four days afterward, she still had not had a bowel movement and complained of abdominal distress. Abdominal roentgenograms were taken and revealed ileus with multiple air fluid levels. A Cantor tube was passed into her stomach in an attempt to decompress the small bowel. Soon afterwards, she removed the tube by herself; it was replaced by another which she also removed. Following the second extubation a film of the abdomen was taken (Fig 1).
