  • This is an unusual case of chronic abdominal pain following two liver transplants with at least three potential causes: traumatic neuroma, intussusception of the small bowel of the Roux loop and biliary cast. Surgical removal of the latter two factors led to resolution of the pain. The management of the clinical case is discussed.
