Abstract

Rice cake is a traditional Japanese food. Interestingly, rice cake can stay in the intestine due to its stickiness and cause food-induced ileus. This case shows an example of intestinal obstruction caused by rice cake. Globalization of Japanese food culture necessitates a deeper understanding of such a characteristic disease.
