Abstract
Decidual transformation of the peritoneum is a frequent occurrence during pregnancy. Incidence and pathogenesis are vague. Complications like bleeding, suspicion of cancer and adhesions are rare. We present a case of mechanical ileus, followed by acute prerenal failure of the kidney caused by decidual transformation of the peritoneum.
