Abstract

Phytobezoars are masses composed of fruit or vegetable matter undigested in the gastrointestinal tract. They are usually seen in patients who have undergone previous gastric surgery. Its most common complication is intestinal obstruction. Computed tomography imaging is useful in diagnosing of phytobezoar associated with small bowel obstruction. In this case report bowel obstruction due to phytobezoar in a 45-year-old female patient who had bilateral truncal vagotomy and gastroenterostomy operation due to obstructing peptic ulcus 17 years ago is presented with its clinical and computed tomography findings findings.

Özet

Fitobezoarlar, sindirilmemiş meyve ve sebze artıklarının sindirim sistemi içinde oluşturduğu kitlelerdir. Sıklıkla daha önce mide cerrahisi geçirmiş kişilerde görülür. En sık komplîkasyonu, intestinal obstrüksiyondur. Fitobezoara bağlı gelişen intestinal obstrüksiyonlann tanısında, bilgisayarlı tomografi ile değerlendirme oldukça yararlı bilgiler verir. Bu olgu sunumunda 17 yıl önce obstrükte peptik ülser nedeni ile bilateral trunkal vagotomi ve gastroenterostomi operasyonu geçirmiş 45 yaşındaki bayan hastada, fitobezoara bağlı gelişen barsak obstrüksiyonu klinik ve bilgisayarlı tomografi bulguları ile birlikte sunulmuştur.
