Abstract

MOSQUERA-KLINGER, Gabriel; QUINTANA, Humberto  and  DE ARDILA, Albis Hani. Intestinal ileal obstruction by endometriosis: Description of a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in young patients. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2014, vol.39, n.3, pp.283-287. ISSN 0120-2448.

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.

Keywords : intestinal obstruction; abdominal pain; endometriosis.
