Résumé
A phytobezoar is the result of poorly digestible vegetable matter that accumulates in the gastrointestinal tract often forming a hard mass in the stomach. We present a case of a phytobezoar in a patient without predisposing risk factors, resulting in significant stomach distension initially believed to require high-risk surgical intervention but which ultimately resolved after 3 days of conservative treatment with prokinetic agents. The patient was discharged uneventfully and was recommended a low-fiber diet indefinitely while undergoing further workup for motility disorders.
