The paper reports a 42-year-old woman with a history of endometriosis who developed cyclical episodes of abdominal pain diagnosed as ileus, temporally associated with ovulation induction and with menses. After workup including upper and lower gastrointestinal studies and MRI showing bilateral ovarian endometriomas, imaging with small-bowel contrast identified terminal ileal stricture, leading to a diagnosis of ileal (intestinal) endometriosis. Surgical treatment using laparoscopic-assisted ileocecal resection and laparoscopic right oophorectomy found endometrial tissue proliferating within the ileal muscle layer on pathology; the paper notes intestinal endometriosis is relatively rare and emphasizes suspecting it with menstrual-associated abdominal pain. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it is a case report of laparoscopic treatment of ileal endometriosis confirmed histologically.
