Abstract
Bowel endometriosis manifesting with ileus is difficult to diagnose, often requiring laparotomy for diagnosis and treatment. We report here a case of ileo‐cecal endometriosis causing bowel obstruction. A diagnosis of intestinal endometriosis with menstruation‐associated bowel symptoms was made, and the patient was successfully treated by laparoscopic ileocecal resection.Keywords
