Abstract
Radiation obstruction is a serious complication of radiation enteropathy. It occurs in patients undergoing radiotherapy for gynecological or rectal cancer. Its management requires special attention to improve the survival of these patients. Based on a case who underwent surgery for cervical cancer and who presented an occlusion on stenosis of the small intestine coves, we will describe the pathophysiology of this rare entity and illustrate the value of imaging in the management of this pathology.
