Phytobezoar Associated With a Meckelʼs Diverticulum

[Mesenteric venous thrombosis associated with a phytobezoar-induced intestinal obstruction].

In general, it is understandable that eosinophilic cholecystitis should not be considered an entity per se because clinically it presents as cholecystitis without specific sy...

Phytobezoar in a jejunal diverticulum as a cause of small bowel obstruction: a case report

INTRODUCTION Phytobezoars are concretions of poorly digested fruit and vegetable fibers found in the alimentary tract. Previous gastric resection, gastrojejunostomy, or pyloroplasty predispose people to bezoar formation. Small-bowel bezoars normally come from the stomach, and primary small-bowel bezoars are very rare. They are seen only in patients with underlying small-bowel diseases such as d...

An unusual cause of intestinal obstruction in an infant: phytobezoar within a Meckel diverticulum.

We reported a case of duodenal obstruction caused by phytobezoar in an 11 months old infant. There was absent history of unusual food ingestion and the definitive diagnosis could only be made intraoperatively as signs of intestinal obstruction evolved. The clinical course was described with a review of literature on this rare condition.

Spontaneous pneumoperitoneum; associated with Meckel's diverticulum.

A Case of Midgut Volvulus Associated with a Jejunal Diverticulum

Midgut volvulus in adults is a rare entity that may present with intermittent colicky abdominal pain mixed with completely asymptomatic episodes. This small bowel twist may result in complications of obstruction, ischemia, hemorrhage, or perforation. With a midgut volvulus, complications may be life-threatening, and emergent surgical intervention is the mainstay of treatment. This current case ...
