Bhudhisawasdi V A 54-year-old male who had no history of previous surgery presented with chronic inter-
mittent constipation. A barium enema showed a 2-cm stenotic lesion at the junction between splenic
flexure and descending colon. A colonoscopy revealed extra-luminal compression without mucosal
lesion. Laparotomy revealed a parietocolic band compressing the proximal part of the descending
colon. The band was lysed. The patient's symptom has improved since the procedure.
