The term bezoar refers to an intraluminal mass in the gastrointestinal system caused by the accumulation of indigestible ingested materials, such as vegetables, fruits, and hair. Bezoars are responsible for 0.4%-4% of cases of mechanical intestinal obstruction. The clinical findings of bezoar-induced ileus do not differ from those of mechanical intestinal obstruction due to other causes. The appearance and localization of bezoars can be established with various imaging methods. Treatment of choice depends on the localization of the bezoar which makes the clinical findings.
胃石症一词指的是胃肠道系统内由不可消化的摄入物质(如蔬菜、水果和毛发)积聚形成的腔内肿块。胃石症导致的机械性肠梗阻病例占0.4%-4%。胃石症引起的肠梗阻的临床表现与其他原因引起的机械性肠梗阻并无不同。胃石症的外观和位置可通过各种成像方法确定。治疗方法的选择取决于导致临床表现的胃石症的位置。
