Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Reports of obstructing foreign bodies in the small bowel are rare and the majority describe surgical resolution. We report a case of successful endoscopic treatment of a small bowel obstruction (SBO) caused by multiple bezoars. A 92-year-old female presented to the Emergency Department with a history of persistent vomiting. Computed tomography (CT) showed gastric distension and an intraluminal ovaloid foreign body with a heterogenous density in the second portion of the duodenum, suggestive of bezoar.
