description Bezoar is a hardened mass of food or foreign objects found in the gastrointestinal system, which occasionally causes obstruction and ileus. Bezoar, if present in the stomach, should generally be treated with conservative methods. During endoscopic treatment, bezoar is usually fragmented and removed. An uncommon complication of endoscopic treatment is gastrointestinal obstruction because of unremoved fragments. We report a 78-year-old female with ileus after endoscopic fragmentation of bezoar.
