Endometriosis is a common disease in women of reproductive age (premenopausal), but gastrointestinal involvement by endometriosis is rare, and its presentation as intestinal obstruction is even stranger. 2 cases of women of reproductive age presenting with abdominal pain and compatible clinical picture of high intestinal obstruction and histopathological documentation of endometriosis, are presented.

Palabras clave : intestinal obstruction; abdominal pain; endometriosis.
