Esophageal obstruction from soluble fiber laxatives, such as karaya gum, has been rarely reported in the literature. However, as such preparations are widely commercially available, it is important for gastroenterologists to be aware of their potential to form a bezoar in the esophagus due to swelling on contact with liquid. This report highlights such a case and discusses its challenging management.
文献中鲜有关于诸如卡拉亚胶等可溶性纤维泻药导致食管梗阻的报道。然而，由于此类制剂在商业上广泛可得，胃肠病学家必须意识到它们在接触液体后因肿胀而在食管中形成粪石的可能性。本报告着重介绍了这样一个病例，并讨论了其具有挑战性的处理方法。
