A very rare case of intestinal obstruction due to segmental agenesis of musculature of the small intestine is presented. In reviewing the literature, only nine cases of this entity has been published. Generally, the clinical evolution make necessary to perform several laparotomies, but the diagnosis is made by pathological findings. The prognosis is very poor.
