Abstract

A case history of acute obstruction of the sigmoid colon caused by endometriosis in a 35-year-old woman is described. Endometriosis occasionally causes relative stenoses of the bowel, whereas total obstruction is rarely seen. Obstruction of the sigmoid colon is often caused by malignancy, but sometimes other causes must be considered.
