title: [Endometriosis: unusual cause of colonic obstruction].
abstract: In the differential diagnosis of colonic obstruction, the endometriosis is an uncommon disease, rarely reported. The endometriosis of the bowel should be suspected on young women with a history of colonic symptoms and gynecologic complaints. The preoperative diagnosis is difficult, based on the clinical history, the imaging modalities and the endoscopic explorations.
