In 3-37% of the cases it affects the gastrointestinal tract being the ileal location extremely infrequent. Symptoms are nonspecific, debuting as intestinal obstruction in 7-23% of cases. The definitive diagnosis is anatomopathological and the treatment in these cases of acute abdomen is surgery. We attach the present case due to its rarity, it is a young asymptomatic woman who debuts with a picture of intestinal obstruction that is treated by intestinal resection via laparoscopy confirming the endometriosis etiology.\nNew comment\nComments\nNo comments for this article\nReferences\n1.
