- W4385156737 abstract "Bezoars, characterized by undigested or partially digested foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, are a rare condition associated with significant complications. We present a case of a 31-year-old woman who sought medical attention due to weight loss, diarrhea, and anorectal pain. Upon investigation, she was diagnosed with fecal impaction caused by a rectal sunflower seed bezoar. The patient had a history of regular sunflower seed consumption, suggesting a potential association with the development of the bezoar. Fecal impaction resulting from the bezoar led to chronic constipation, contributing to the patient's weight loss and anorectal discomfort. Imaging studies, including abdominal X-rays or computed tomography (CT) scans, played a crucial role in confirming the diagnosis by identifying the presence of the bezoar within the rectum. Management involved a multidisciplinary approach, with gastroenterologists and colorectal surgeons. A flexible endoscope was utilized to visualize and remove the sunflower seed bezoar under direct vision, providing immediate relief from the symptoms. This case emphasizes the importance of considering bezoars as a potential cause of GI symptoms, even in young and otherwise healthy individuals. Although rectal bezoars are relatively rare, they can lead to significant morbidity. Therefore, it is essential to include them in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with fecal impaction, anorectal pain, and associated symptoms. Prompt diagnosis, appropriate imaging, and early intervention are crucial for the successful management and prevention of potential complications and the improvement of patient outcomes." @default.
