Abstract

Bezoars are an uncommon result of the ingestion of indigestible or poorly digested substances, which form a solid mass within the gastrointestinal tract.

We report a case of intestinal obstruction caused by a bezoar due to parasitic infestation in a 10-year-old boy that was treated with successful surgical intervention.
