[Endometriosis: a rare cause of acute intestinal obstruction].
In the differential diagnosis of intestinal obstruction, the endometriosis is an uncommon disease, rarely reported preoperatively. Surgical objective is a total resection of endometriomas, to guarantee symptom relief and ovoid recurrence. In elective cases, preoperative GH-RH analogue hormonal treatment makes easier the surgical procedures. Conservative surgery of the ovaries is mandatory in premenopausal patients.
