Successful treatment of distal intestinal obstruction syndrome with N-acetylcysteine and polyethylene glycol via colonoscopy

Copyright © 2023. Published by Elsevier B.V..

We describe a case of a 46-year-old woman with cystic fibrosis who presented with several days of abdominal pain and distension. She was found to have a small bowel obstruction with inspissated stool in the distal ileum on CT imaging. Despite initial management with conservative measures, her symptoms worsened. She was taken for urgent colonoscopy with administration of 4% N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) at the distal ileum with resultant dissolution of the fecalith. Over the following days, her symptoms improved, and she was discharged with outpatient follow-up.
