Obstruction due to small bowel bezoar

Discussion:

Bezoars are accumulations of indigestible contents within the gastrointestinal tract. Bezoars are known to cause small bowel obstruction and sometimes CT may demonstrate the bezoar as a mass in the obstructed segment of bowel. However, US examination can serve as follow-up for patients who were suspected of having a bezoar-induced small bowel obstruction.
