Small Bowel Obstruction Secondary to Congenital Peritonel Band in Adults

Acute intestinal obstruction in adults on a scarred abdomen is a usual etiology to see, but in rare cases, such as ours, intestinal obstruction may result from primary or congenital clamping. We report the case of a 17-year-old patient, without any surgical or traumatic history, presenting for an occlusive syndrome. Imaging revealed thickening of the last ileal loop and surgical exploration found a primitive bridle with no sign of digestive distress.
