Overview

In this study the authors describe a rare histological finding in the resected small intestine, which was a cause of continuous ileal difficulties in a young female patient, and which increased in their intensity and finally resulted in an acute state which had to be solved by an urgent surgical procedure. The situation was defined as „absence of the muscularis layer“ of the intestinal wall by a pathologist. The pathologist also stated that he had never come across such a case, neither in our literature, nor in the foreign one and that the condition was diagnosed with difficulties when using a standard visualization examination methods.

Key words:
chronic ileus – small intestine – absence of the muscularis layer of the wall
