Abstract

Mechanical intestinal obstruction is defined as the partial or total blockage of the passage of digested food in gastrointestinal system towards the distal. If intestinal obstruction is not treated properly it can cause high incidences of morbidity and mortality. The most frequent cause is adhesion after surgery but etiological cause changes frequently with age. Known symptoms of intestinal obstructions are nausea, vomiting, abdominal ache and distention in the abdomen. In our study we aimed to present a 70 year old patient with intestinal obstruction due to phytobezoar who developed sepsis, with the help of current literature.

Özet

Mekanik barsak tıkanıklığı, sindirilmiş gıdaların gastrointestinal sistemde distal geçişinin total veya parsiel olarak engellediği durum olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Barsak tıkanıklığı uygun olarak tedavi edilmediğinde,ciddi mortalite vemorbiditeylesonuçlanbilmektedir. Etyoloji, yaşla değişmekle beraber en sık neden postoperatif adezyonlardır. Bilinen semptomları bulantı, kusma, karın ağrısı ve abdominaldistansiondur. Çalışmamızda; sepsisgelişen ,70 yaşındaki hastada intestinal obstrüksiyonun neden olduğu fitobezoar olgusu güncel literatür eşliğinde sunulmuştur
