Endometriosis intestinal, una causa de suboclusión intestinal poco sospechada. Serie de casos
Keyword(s):
Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glands in extrauterine sites. Intestinal deep infiltrating endometriosis is considered when the endometriotic lesion is located more than 5 mm below the peritoneum. Intestinal obstruction due to endometriosis is rare, occurring in approximately 1% of cases. We present three cases with intestinal occlusion as deep infiltrating endometriosis debut. Its symptomatic presentation can mimic multiple gastroenterological entities, mainly irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease so its diagnosis can be difficult. However, suspecting this pathology and diagnosing it is important to define therapeutic behavior and improve the quality of life of our patients.
