Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic granulomatous inflammatory disease that affects any part of our body. TB is a significant problem in developing countries. Intestinal TB accounts for 2% of TB cases worldwide. Terminal ileum and cecum are the two commonly affected regions because of abundant lymphoid tissue, physiologic stasis, limited digestive activity and increased fluid and electrolyte absorption rate. Intestinal obstruction is the leading complication of intestinal TB, and it occurs because of intestinal luminal narrowing, multiple strictures or adhesions. The clinical presentation of patients with intestinal TB and post-TB intestinal obstruction is non-specific. It can be acute, chronic, or acute on chronic. Uncomplicated cases of intestinal TB can be managed medically. Surgery is reserved for complicated cases of intestinal TB, which includes peritonitis, intestinal obstruction and perforations. Here, we present a 37-year-old man who presented with long-standing, intermittent crampy abdominal pain and vomiting. He was diagnosed with chronic partial small bowel obstruction secondary to possibly small bowel carcinoma. We did segmental ileal resection and end-to-end ileo-ileal anastomosis. Postoperatively, the histopathology result turned out to be intestinal TB. This case report aims to make physicians aware of the rare condition of small bowel obstruction secondary to intestinal TB. Clinicians need to have a high index of suspicion in any patient with long-standing symptoms of partial obstruction and consider surgery and anti-TB once diagnosed.
