Acute abdomen is a serious health problem seen at any age, any sex. The causes are several, specially intestinal obstruction are shown as the main cause. Intraabdominal adhesions may also lead to such a problem, it was explained that omental band was thought to be the cause of this about a rate of 3%. In this case a 20 year old female patient, virgin, not having an operation was admitted as acute abdomen. No explanation could be made what the cause was till she had an operation. She had an omental band, which was resected during this operation. Such cases should be mentioned by a multidisciplinary approach like general surgery and gynaecology.
