Abstract
Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction is a rare yet an important complication of sickle cell disease to be known as lack of knowledge about it may lead to unnecessary surgical interventions due to its similar presentation of other acute surgical conditions. Here I present a 15 years old boy who has newly discovered to have sickle cell disease presented with pseudo intestinal obstruction and was successfully treated with a combination plan of intestinal obstruction and sickle cell disease.
