Sumario:Abdominal distension, constipation, and vomiting are just a few of the symptoms of small bowel obstruction (SBO), a disorder with several well-known frequent causes. Patients may now be more carefully chosen for surgical intervention and frequent causes of SBO can be quickly detected thanks to recent advancements in both imaging modalities and minimally invasive procedures. Despite these developments, it must be emphasized that diagnosing unusual causes of SBO remains challenging. This study describes a 38-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with a capsulated submucosal leiomyoma and later treated surgically.
