• Small bowel obstruction, is a rare complication following cesarean section, due to herniation of bowel through the rectus sheath. • This is a case of uncomplicated primary cesarean section. The incidence of small bowel obstruction after caesarean section is very low. • In a population-based cohort study, the risk of small bowel obstruction among women with a cesarean delivery was 16.3/10,000 person-years versus 6.4/10,000 person-years in women without caesarean delivery (odds ratio [OR] 2.54, 95% CI 2.15-3.00); and an increasing number of cesarean deliveries was associated with an increasing risk of small bowel obstruction (OR 1.61, 95% CI 1.46-1.78, per additional cesarean delivery)(1).

Uncommon Condition

Sclerosing mesenteritis falls within a spectrum of primary idiopathic inflammatory and fibrotic processes that affect the mesentery. The exact etiology has not been determined, although the following associations have been noted: abdominal surgery, trauma, autoimmunity, paraneoplastic syndrome, ischemia and infection. Progression of sclerosing mesentritis can lead to bowel obstruction, a rare complication of this uncommon condition. We report a case of a 66-year-old female with abdominal pain who was noted to have a small bowel obstruction requiring laparotomy and a partial small bowel resection. The pathology of the resected tissue was consistent with sclerosing mesenteritis, a rare cause of a small bowel obstruction. Sclerosing mesenteritis has variable rates of progression, and there is no consensus regarding the optimal treatment. Physicians should consider sclerosing mesenteritis in the differential diagnosis of a small bowel obstruction.
