    AbstractThe green color in urine may suggest the presence of a severe pathology needing treatment. Many different potential causes of green urine have previously been reported. In our case, after ruling out other potential causes of green urine, it was suggested that the surgical manipulation of the paralytic ileum might have induced the reabsorption of the methylene blue which had been retained in the bowel (bezoar effect), even 96 hours after the nasogastric administration.Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc.
