Plaster ingestion forming gastric bezoar is a strange way to attempt suicide and this method has not yet been reported. It may lead to a mechanical obstruction of the gut, especially the pyloric region, and could manifest with abdominal pain, epigastric distress, nausea, vomiting, and fullness.
Herein we report a case of a 37 year-old woman presenting with plaster ingestion and gastric outlet obstruction, who underwent surgery. At six months follow-up the patient was fully recovered.
Plaster has no toxic or erosive effects. Endoscopic or surgical removing of such material is recommended. Moreover, psychiatric intervention and management is imperative to prevent recurrence in such cases.
吞食石膏形成胃石是一种罕见的自杀方式，目前尚未见相关报道。它可能导致肠道机械性梗阻，尤其是幽门区域，可表现为腹痛、上腹部不适、恶心、呕吐和饱胀感。
在此，我们报告一例37岁女性吞食石膏并导致胃出口梗阻的病例，该患者接受了手术治疗。随访6个月时，患者已完全康复。
石膏无毒蚀作用。建议通过内镜或手术取出此类物质。此外，对于此类病例，必须进行心理干预和管理以防止复发。
