    <abstract locale="en_US">Post-surgery ileus is a common complication after abdominal surgery. In cases of prolonged postoperative ileus lasting more than three days, underlying inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) should be considered. We present a 35-year-old woman who developed prolonged ileus after cesarean section, complicated by multiple ileal
perforations that led to the diagnosis of Crohn&#x2019;s disease. This case illustrates smallbowel perforation as the first clinical presentation of Crohn&#x2019;s disease in the postpartum period.</abstract>
