A case of jejunal ulceration in a hypertensive male on a thiazide-potassium regimen is reported. Roentgenologically, the process was manifest by focal constriction with proximal dilatation.
Small intestinal ulceration should be considered in the differential roentgen diagnosis of obscure jejuno-ileal stenosis or obstruction, particularly in patients receiving enteric-coated potassium medication.
