| Summary: | Gastrointestinal bezoars often occur as a complication of previous gastric surgery or in patients with altered gastrointestinal motility. Complications associated with gastrointestinal bezoars include perforation, peritonitis, protein-losing enteropathy, and acute appendicitis.

We report a case of acute pancreatitis and subsequent duodenal obstruction caused by a large duodenal phytobezoar. |
