Description
Summary:The Authors discuss on anatomical and functional characteristics of ileum-colon junction, physiological narrowing in alimentary tract and often involved in benign obstruction. They report their series and analyze all inflammatory or not inflammatory diseases potentially involved, by describing them shortly and giving some information about their clinical features and imaging. The treatment of this obstruction will be done as soon as possible, before wall lesions force to make a larger resection.
