Large bowel obstruction tracked back to unusual origin: case
The patient presented to the same ED three times, but was initially misdiagnosed.
Endometriosis was the unlikely cause of this 40-year-old’s bowel obstruction, despite the patient reporting no other endometriosis symptoms until she presented to ED.
The nulliparous patient presented with a five-day history of abdominal pain and spurious diarrhoea, as well as multiple episodes of vomiting and inability to tolerate oral intake.
