A four-year-old girl experienced subacute intestinal obstruction due to a significant number of colon stones. This case highlights a rare presentation of pediatric colonic lithiasis.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Colorectal Surgery

Background:

  • Colonic lithiasis, or the presence of fecaliths in the colon, is uncommon in children.
  • Intestinal obstruction is a serious condition requiring prompt diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • A four-year-old female presented with symptoms suggestive of subacute intestinal obstruction.
  • Imaging revealed a large burden of stones within the colon.

Findings:

  • The patient's obstruction was directly attributed to the extensive colonic stone formation.
  • This presentation is unusual for the pediatric age group.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering colonic lithiasis in pediatric patients with obstructive symptoms.

  • Further investigation into the etiology of extensive stone formation in children may be warranted.
  • Management strategies for pediatric colonic lithiasis need to be considered.
