We present a female patient of 70 years, admitted in emergency department for signs of high bowel obstruction. After preoperative intensive care, surgical intervention was performed. A complete stenosis of the bowel lumen was found about 15 cm from the duodenojejunal angle, due to a process of sclerosis.
