Bezoars or undigested food concretions in the gastrointestinal tract are mostly due to ingestion of a stringent immature fruits following gastric surgery and can lead to the serious complication of acute small bowel obstructions. We are reporting a case of com. plete jejunal obstruction in a 60 year old female, 15 years following bilateral vagotomy and gastrojejunostomy for pyloric obstruction. Important clinical and pathological features are emphasised to increase the awareness of this rather unconunon cause of intestinal obstruction. |
