Abstract

Herein we describe a case of 33-year old woman repeatedly affected by incomplete ileus. Primary segmental absence of lamina muscularis propria has been found in this patient. Histological examination revealed areas of small intestine with total absence of muscularis propria followed by areas of the intestinal wall characterised by normal histological structure. No necrosis, inflammation, and fibrosis supporting the secondary origin of this lesion was found.
