Phytobezoars are a well-documented cause of small bowel obstruction. Previous reports include patients who have predisposing factors such as gastric surgery, diabetes mellitus, or poor dentition. Consequences of extreme dieting have also been reported, but a resultant phytobezoar and life-threatening bowel obstruction are rare. We present a case of phytobezoar solely due to a diet inordinately high in fiber.
植物性胃石是小肠梗阻的一个有充分文献记载的病因。既往报告的病例包括有诸如胃部手术、糖尿病或牙齿不佳等易感因素的患者。极端节食的后果也有报道,但由此导致植物性胃石和危及生命的肠梗阻情况较为罕见。我们报告一例单纯因高纤维饮食导致的植物性胃石病例。
