This case report illustrates a distal intestinal obstruction syndrome in a child with cystic fibrosis, complicated by an adhesive small bowel obstruction. Both conditions can occur simultaneously in cystic fibrosis patients.
Early recognition and appropriate multidiciplinary medical management are essential to avoid complications.
