title: Ileal resection for gangrenous ileal volvulus in a term pregnancy: a case report.
abstract: Mechanical bowel obstruction is a rare complication of pregnancy, usually seen in small bowel, and most commonly due to an adhesive band or hernia. Surgical evaluation is the method of treatment in cases that do not answer to conservative support procedures. A very rare case of small-bowel strangulation caused by herniation of a loop of ileum through another ileoperitoneal adhesion is presented.
