Abstract
|
|
|
|
An esophageal bezoar, although uncommon, is now recognized as a distinct clinical entity. An esophageal bezoar is rare but can form due to regurgitation of a gastric bezoar, motor disorder or anatomical abnormality, or following a gastrectomy. In general, bezoars are most often found in the stomach, and are formed by the accumulation of foreign ingested materials, including vegetable material and hair. In Korea, no case of a primary esophageal bezoar has been reported after a total gastrectomy. We report a case of an endoscopically treated primary esophageal bezoar that occurred after a total gastrectomy, without complications. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2008;36:71-73)
