description Segmental dilatation of ileum (SDI) is a less known uncommon entity with a confusing clinical scenario and no definite etiopathogenesis. The preoperative diagnosis is of exclusion.

Thorough radiological examinations were needed to reach the diagnosis of SDI which was confirmed postoperatively.
