Colo-rectal Lithobezoar: A Rare Cause of Colonic Obstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bezoar is the foreign body material in the digestive tract. Primary colonic lithobezoar is rarely reported in childhood and is usually associated with the history of iron deficiency anemia, pica or psycho-social disorders. [1] These cases may present with chronic constipation, recurrent abdominal pain, and painful defecation. Evacuation under anesthesia is the usual treatment, but surgery can be considered if this procedure fails or colonic injury occurs.[2-4]
