HURTADO DAVILA, José Francisco  y  HURTADO VIERA, Raquel. The Intestinal Polyps as a cause intestinal obstruction: Presentation of case. Rev haban cienc méd [online]. 2007, vol.6, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1729-519X.

The Intestinal Polyps are frequent but mainly those of the Large Intestine, and it is said that even, a 50% of the general population carries a polyp in its intestine, but this pathology not frequently produces intestinal obstruction and when it produces it, it is due to invagination of a segment of this, the initial phase of this tumor. We saw a patient operated in our emergency service, who came presenting a typical manifestation of an small intestine occlusion, that is, abdominal pain to colic type with vomits and constipation; first of all, he was operated and it was interpreted that the cause of the occlusion was an internal brida, but he continued with the occlusive manifestation and he was operated again and it was found that the real cause was a polyp that occluded the light. We expose this case here, with the objective that the surgeons keep this pathology in mind as a possible cause of an Intestinal Obstruction. To make this presentation we make a revision of the sick person's Clinical History, of the Operating Report and of the Pathological Anatomy Report, previous to the revision of all written in the Literature in this respect. We conclude making the necessary recommendations.
