This study reports three cases where sonography accurately suggested small intestinal phytobezoars. Ultrasound identified intraluminal masses with specific echo characteristics, aiding surgical confirmation.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Phytobezoars, indigestible masses of plant material, can cause small bowel obstruction.
  • Accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • Sonography revealed intraluminal masses in the dilated small bowel.
  • These masses presented as arc-like surface echoes with posterior acoustic shadowing.
  • Transducer compression demonstrated fluid shift around the mass.

Findings:

  • The sonographic findings were consistent with phytobezoars.
  • Diagnosis was subsequently confirmed during surgical intervention.
  • Ultrasound proved to be a valuable tool in identifying these intraluminal masses.

Implications:

  • Sonography can suggest the presence of small intestinal phytobezoars.
  • This non-invasive imaging technique may aid in early diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • Further research can explore the role of ultrasound in phytobezoar detection.
