Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Paralytic ileus occurs commonly in patients with over 20 per cent TBSA burns in the first few days after the burn. In the absence of sepsis, it is unusual for abdominal problems to develop later. We present an example of acute abdominal pseudo-obstruction occurring 5 weeks after a burn and review the management of this condition.
