Abstract
Endometriosis is a relatively common condition in women of child-bearing age, and coincidental intestinal serosal involvement is frequently recognised. However, intestinal obstruction, although reported, is rare. We report what we believe is the first case with synchronous ileo-caecal and rectosigmoid obstructing endometriomas. Endometriosis as a cause of bowel obstruction is discussed and in particular the differential diagnosis from Crohn's disease and malignancy.
