Differential diagnosis of distal ileal obstruction in young women What is the role of magnetic resonance enterography?. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2020, vol.45, n.3, pp.70-74.  Epub 06-Jun-2021.

Intestinal obstruction is uncommon in young patients. Most cases present in young (premenopausal) women and tend to be related to inflammatory intestinal disease such as Crohn's disease or endometriosis with intestinal involvement. In this case series we present three female patients of reproductive age with intestinal obstruction symptoms who have differential diseases and outcomes. The initial approach to the obstruction included magnetic resonance enterography.

We present the cases, discussion and review of the literature on the differential diagnosis of distal ileal stenosis and the use of magnetic resonance enterography in this scenario.(Acta Med Colomb 2020; 45. DOI:https://doi.org/10.36104/amc.2020.1327).

Palavras-chave : Crohn's disease; intestinal obstruction; ileal disease.
