The paper presents a rare case report of acute intestinal obstruction attributed to endometriosis invading the intestinal wall, alongside a brief literature review of related reports. It describes the diagnostic challenge that timely and accurate identification is difficult in clinical practice when endometriosis involves the digestive tract, and highlights symptom patterns such as long-standing constipation, abdominal distension, or incomplete obstruction that relate to the menstrual cycle. The main limitation is that this is a single case with a literature review, so it cannot establish incidence or causality beyond accumulated case observations. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically reports intestinal obstruction caused by endometriosis invasion and reviews related literature.

Abstract

Intestinal obstruction caused by the invasion of endometriosis on intestinal walls is rarely reported, and it is difficult to make timely and accurate diagnosis in clinical practice. Herein, we report a rare case of acute intestinal obstruction caused by endometriosis and make a review on related literature. Digestive tractendometriosis should be considered if the patient had a long history ofconstipation, abdominal distension or incomplete intestinal obstruction, especially when these symptoms were closely related with the menstrual cycle.   Key words: Endometriosis, invasion, intestinal obstruction.
