Small bowel obstructions secondary to bezoarsŞerife Ulusan1, Zafer Koc1, Nurkan Törer21Department Of Radiology Başkent University Adana Teaching And Medical Research Center, Adana, Turkey2Department Of General Surgery Başkent University Adana Teaching And Medical Research Center, Adana, Turkey BACKGROUND We aimed to present our experience on computed tomography (CT) findings of small bowel obstruction due to bezoar impaction. METHODS CT scans of seven patients (3 males, 4 females, age range; 30-93 years) who were diagnosed as small bowel obstruction due to bezoars were reviewed. RESULTS In each patient, an intraluminal mass with a mottled gas pattern on CT enabled specific preoperative diagnosis of bezoars, and postoperative changes such as anastomotic lines and afferent-efferent loops.CONCLUSION CT imaging is useful in making the diagnosis of bezoar associated with small bowel obstruction, and greatly helps assessing the detailed abdominal anatomy.
