This paper reports two cases of ileal endometriosis presenting with intestinal obstruction, one requiring emergency surgery for perforation and the other treated with ileocecal resection.

The paper reports two cases of ileal endometriosis presenting as intestinal obstruction in women aged 47 and 43. In case 1, a patient admitted with abdominal pain and vomiting was treated for ileus but developed gastrointestinal perforation requiring emergency surgery, where multiple strictures in the terminal ileum and a perforation were found; in case 2, a patient treated conservatively for presumed bacterial enteritis later developed pain and distension and underwent surgery for persistent obstruction, with a markedly malignant-appearing stricture at the terminal ileum; both cases were diagnosed as ileal endometriosis on postoperative pathology. The authors note that while small-bowel endometriosis commonly presents with bowel obstruction, preoperative and intraoperative diagnosis is often difficult. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically describes ileal (small-intestinal) endometriosis cases that manifested as intestinal obstruction and discusses the diagnostic challenge.
