Nar çekirdeğine bağlı mekanik kalınbarsak tıkanıklığı
Bezoar sıklıkla zeka geriliği ve psikiyatrik hastalığı olan kişilerde sık görülen, ancak nadiren cerrahi girişim gerektiren bir durumdur. Bezoar yutulan bitkisel ya da hayvansal materyallerin gastrointestinal sistemde birikerek yumak oluşturmasıdır. Sıklıkla midede oluşan bezoarlar ince barsaklara geçerek obstrüksiyona, nadiren de perforasyona sebep olur. Fitobezoar dünyanın her yerinde yaygın olarak karşılaşılan bir durum olup, kalın barsak obstrüksiyonunun nadir sebeplerinden biridir. Bu çalışmamızda yenilen narların çekirdeklerinin birikimine bağlı kolonik tıkanıklık vakası sunulmuştur. On dört yaşındaki çocuk hasta ileusa bağlı akut karın tanısıyla acil servisten yatırılarak ameliyat edildi. Sigmoid kolonda lümeni tam tıkayan fitobezoar tespit edildi. Bezoar çıkarılarak hastaya uç kolostomi uygulandı. Hasta ameliyat sonrası sorunsuz taburcu edildi. Çocuklarda, psikiyatrik hastalarda ve gastrointestinal sistem ameliyatı anamnezi olan barsak tıkanıklığı olgularında bezoarlar akılda tutulmalıdır. Klin Deney Ar Derg 2011; 2 (3): 315-318.
Mechanical colonic obstruction secondary to core of the pomegranate
Bezoars are often common in people with mental retardation and psychiatric disease, a condition that requires surgical intervention. Bezoar is retained concretions of ingested plant or animal materials that accumulate within the gastrointestinal tract. They often form in the stomach and can pass into the small intestine and cause obstruction, rarely leads to perforation. Fitobezoar phenomenon is common all over the world, is one of a rare cause of large bowel obstruction. In this study we report a case of colonic obstruction due to accumulation of edible pomegranates seeds. Fourteen-year-old boy admitted with diagnosis of acute abdomen dependind on ileus to the emergency department were operated. Fytobezoar fully obstructing the lumen of the sigmoid colon was found. Bezoar removed and end colostomy was performed. The patient was discharged after surgery without complication. In children, psychiatric patients, and patients with a history of gastrointestinal surgery in cases of intestinal obstruction differential diagnosis should include bezoars.
