Phytobezoars or undigested food concretions in the gastrointestinal tract are mostly due to ingestion of astringent immature fruits following gastric surgery and can lead to the serious complication of acute small bowel obstruction. We are reporting a case of acute small bowel obstruction in a 40 year old Turkish male, 48 months following bilateral vagotomy and pyloroplasty. Important clinical pathological features are emphasised to increase the awareness of this rather uncommon cause of acute intestinal obstruction.
植物性胃石或胃肠道内未消化的食物凝结物大多是由于胃部手术后摄入了收敛性未成熟果实所致，并可导致急性小肠梗阻这一严重并发症。我们报告一例40岁土耳其男性在双侧迷走神经切断术和幽门成形术后48个月发生急性小肠梗阻的病例。强调了重要的临床病理特征，以提高对这种相当罕见的急性肠梗阻病因的认识。
