Abstract

A bezoar is the acquisition and ingestion of food or materials that are indigestible or partially digested, resulting in gastrointestinal obstruction [1]. Bezoars can also form secondary to a gastric outlet obstruction, allowing for gastric contents to remain in the stomach for a prolonged period of time [2].
