Sumario:Congenital band is a rare cause of bowel obstruction, most commonly occurring in childhood. We report a case of a young adult with no medical and surgical previous history who had symptoms of bowel obstruction evolving for 2 days. Computed tomography (CT) found an adhesive band causing a small bowel obstruction. An open laparotomy was performed, and the intraoperative findings were consistent with a congenital band compressing the ileum. Through this clinical case, we illustrate an uncommon cause of bowel obstruction and the interest of the CT for the management.
