Abstract
An 89βyearβold woman was admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital with a small bowel obstruction and symptoms of urinary retention. She had been started on solfenacin for bladder overactivity 10 days prior to her presentation. Withdrawal of the solfenacin resulted in a full recovery, which has persisted for greater than 6 months without surgical intervention. This is the first reported case report of small bowel pseudoβobstruction due to solifenacin. Journal of Hospital Medicine 2008;3:176β178. Β© 2008 Society of Hospital Medicine.
