Abstract

Introduction: A small bowel phytobezoar is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction, whose most common cause is adhesion. Case Report: This is a case report in which the etiology of small bowel obstruction was identified due to intussusception via computed tomography scan, and upon exploration, was found to be due to a small bowel phytobezoar.
