Popis: A rare case of intestinalm obstruction caused by intussusception of the small bowel due to an intraparietal benign neurilemmoma (synonym: benign schwannoma) in a patient 35th weeks pregnant is reported. It is assumed that intestinal intussusception during pregnancy is a rare complication and the diagnosis is made difficult due to the pregnancy itself, delaying the onset of symptoms and treatment. The echography was the determining factor for the diagnosis. The conclusion is drawn that surgical operation, associated or not with the cesarean section, should be carried out as quickly as possible in order to reduce the mortality rate both maternal and fetal.
