Abstract

Endometriosis is rarely located on the small bowel. A case of small bowel perforation resulting from a stenosis due to endometriosis is reported. Pre-operative diagnosis of this type of lesion is most difficult in genetically active women since the clinical picture is a mixture of gynaecological and digestive disturbances. The treatment is surgical resection.
