Abstract
English (OpenAlex)
Gastric bezoars occur in the stomach due to foreign body accumulation with an inability to pass through the pylorus. Major complications of bezoars include intestinal obstruction, gastric ulcer, gastric perforation, and bleeding. Many gastric bezoars can often be treated conservatively. Endoscopy has been commonly used in both the diagnosis and treatment of bezoars. We present a case that complained about abundant gastrointestinal bleeding as well as abdominal distension and was successfully treated with emergency gastric surgery after the failure of bleed control by endoscopic intervention due to giant gastric bezoar.
