Bu yazıda kliniğimizde, bezoarm nadir formu olan parazitik bezoara bağlı ortaya çıkan intestinal obstruksiyon olgusu sunuldu.
Abstract
Bezoars are an uncommon result of the ingestion of indigestible or poorly digested substances, which form a solid mass within the gastrointestinal tract. Their classification is based on their content and includes phytobezoars, trichobezoars, lactobezoars and seldomly parasitic bezoars. 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.
