Abstract
Two cases of uncommon side effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) are presented which show that in special cases NSAID lesions can b e located predominantly in the proximal colon, that NSAID-caused lesions ma y present themselves as diaphragm-like strictures and that alterations by N SAID in this part of the bowel may bring enormous problems for the differen tial diagnosis.
