Question: A 63-year-old woman with a 6-year history of fibrostenotic ileocolonic Crohn’s disease (CD) presented for evaluation after multiple hospitalizations for recurrent small bowel obstruction (SBO).

She denied nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug use, but did take acetaminophen for intermittent low back pain.
