We report the case of a 34-year-old woman who died after presenting to hospital with a 2-month history of vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Subsequent inquiries revealed that she had a history of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) abuse, and the autopsy revealed stricture formation consistent with being caused by NSAID enteropathy.

D000894	Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal	Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.
