Issue Date: | 2018 | Source: | BMJ case reports Mar 28 2018 , 2018 | Journal Title: | BMJ case reports | Journal: | BMJ Case Rep | Abstract: | Chronic abdominal pain can be a difficult diagnostic dilemma. Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) is a potential differential diagnosis that should be considered because treatment is both easy and effective. We describe the case of a 51-year-old man presenting with 7 months of right lower quadrant abdominal pain on the background of known Crohn's disease. A circumspect surgical approach and multidisciplinary input was key to making the diagnosis of a nerve entrapment syndrome.1757-790xLam, Kenneth | DOI: | 10.1136/bcr-2017-224041 | Keywords: | crohn's diseasegeneral surgery;pain;peripheral nerve disease | Type: | Article |
