title: Strangulation Resulting from an Encasement of the Small Intestinal Loop by the Omentum without an Adhesive Band.
abstract: The most common cause of small-bowel obstructions in adults is postoperative adhesions. However, strangulation of the small intestine in a patient without history of laparotomy is a rare condition. We experienced an unusual case of a small-bowel obstruction secondary to omental encasement in a patient without previous history of abdominal surgery or acute inflammatory process in the abdomen.
