Colonic chemobezoar--intestinal obstruction due to barium inspissation.

A 72-year-old man presented with constipation of 45 days' duration, with history suggestive of recurrent episodes of subacute intestinal obstruction relieved by passage of fluid and flatus; he had noticed an abdominal lump 30 days prior. Examination revealed a lump corresponding to the contours of the entire large intestine. X-ray showed barium outlining the colon. Enquiry revealed that he had undergone a barium enema study 10 days prior to appearance of the lump. The diagnosis of barium inspissation was confirmed at laparotomy; total colectomy with ileo-rectal anastomosis was done.

[Arterio-mesenteric duodenal occlusion in children and adolescents--a rare form of intestinal obstruction].

The arteriomesenteric occlusion of the duodenum is a rare form of intestinal obstruction in children and adolescents. Precipitating factors are disorders of the spine, loss of weight and kachexia. The angle formed by the mesenteric artery and the aorta determines whether or not an obstruction at this point occurs. With the exception of acute forms of obstruction the treatment is conservative. For patients, in whom conservative treatment is inappropriate, the different surgical approaches are discussed.
