Small Bowel Obstruction Caused by Dried Persimmon
View through CrossRef
Dried persimmon is a well-known dried fruit in Asian countries such as Japan, Korea, and China. Small bowel obstruction caused by phytobezoar is a rare but interesting pathogenesis that accounts for 2–4% of all small bowel obstructions. We present the case of an 87-year-old female who suffered from small bowel obstruction caused by ingestion of a huge, dried astringent persimmon. She was initially treated conservatively, but removal by enterotomy was performed after relief failed to be achieved with conservative therapy.
