Abstract
A giant bezoar fulfilling the stomach, the duodenum and the jejunum for about 60–70 cm was found in a young girl with autism spectrum disorder, admitted for acute abdominal pain. At initial radiological evaluation an intestinal ilea-ileal intussusception was diagnosed but a computed tomography showed hypointense material with a chambered aspect likely due to accidental ingestion of exogenous material. The presence of a giant bezoar was endoscopically confirmed and the patient underwent surgery for its manual removal.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
