Abstract: Small bowel obstruction during pregnancy is rare, yet a life-threatening condition for both mother and baby. Many authors in literature suggested prompt and appropriate surgical intervention rather than conservative treatment, as soon as total small bowel obstruction was diagnosed during pregnancy. We present herein a case of a 32-week pregnant woman with small bowel obstruction, who was admitted for severe abdominal pain and continuous vomiting, and eventually underwent emergency laparotomy which resulted in discharge of the healthy baby and resection of proximal jejunum with anastomosis.
