Abstract

Small Bowel obstruction is one of most common causes of Acute Abdomen presenting as Surgical Emergency. The dynamic small bowel obstruction due to mechanical obstruction usually presents as acute onset abdominal pain, Distension, Vomiting and Absolute constipation. Intraabdominal adhesion and bands are most commonly responsible for Acute Small bowel obstruction and almost every case requires surgical intervention. However, bands and Adhesions occur more likely following an abdominal surgery. Fallopian tube entrapment is a very rare cause of acute small bowel obstruction mentioned in very few literatures. The etiology is unusual and difficult to diagnose from history and standard investigations.
