This paper presents a single case of endometriosis involving the terminal ileum, complicated by early intestinal obstruction. It discusses which symptoms and signs may help establish a pre-operative diagnosis of gastrointestinal endometriosis. The paper also addresses the role of surgical intervention in both diagnosing and treating the condition, while the case-based nature of the report limits generalizability. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically endometriosis of the terminal ileum presenting with early obstruction.
