Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Enterolithiasis is the formation of intestinal calculi (stones).
  • It is a rare condition, often associated with underlying bowel abnormalities.

Observation:

  • Two cases of enterolithiasis were observed in middle-aged Bedouin women.
  • Etiologies included postoperative stricture with prestenotic dilatation and congenital diverticula.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis was established in both cases using small-bowel enema.
  • The location of stone formation was the terminal ileum and cecum.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering enterolithiasis in patients with obstructive bowel symptoms.
  • Small-bowel enema is a valuable diagnostic tool for enterolithiasis.
  • Understanding the varied causes of enterolithiasis is crucial for effective management.
