title: [Intestinal obstruction in pregnancy].
abstract: Intestinal obstruction is a rare but dreadful complication of pregnancy. Both the mother and the foetus may be severely affected and even die. The authors here report their recent experience and review the literature. They emphasize that diagnostic pitfalls are common during pregnancy and there appropriate management most often delayed. A multidisciplinary approach is advocated and the specific aspects of this high-risk situation are discussed.
