Abstract

Background: This case report emphasizes the recent studies in small bowel Endometriosis i.e. Endometriosis is an often painful disorder in which tissue similar to the tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus- the endometrium grows outside the uterus.

Case presentation: A 41-year-old woman went to the emergency room with abdominal pain as her main complaint. The patient had been suffering from persistent stomach pain for almost two months, with the pain in her right lower abdomen getting worse. The ED physician determined a clinical diagnosis of small bowel obstruction based on a physical examination, relevant laboratory results, and radiographic studies. The most important radiological examinations, an abdominal X-ray and a CT scan of her belly and pelvis, revealed brief segments of thickened small intestine wall and dilated bowel loops, which were compatible with a clinical diagnosis of small bowel obstruction.
