The paper reports a single 40-year-old woman with ileal endometriosis presenting initially with epigastric pain that improved after intravenous therapy, followed by worsening abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Using abdominal ultrasound and emergency contrast CT, the authors diagnosed strangulated ileal intussusception at the ileocecal region, and performed emergency surgery where bloody ascites was found and a submucosal lesion in the terminal ileum acted as the lead point for the intussusception. After manual reduction, they resected the ileocecal area with D2 because malignancy was considered, and pathology confirmed a 3 cm submucosal endometriotic lesion. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it is a surgical case of ileal endometriosis causing intussusception of the ileocecal region.
