  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

 Since in 1854 Quain found at autopsy a phytobezoar consisting of coconut fiber and string in a human stomach, 323 such have been reported up till now in this country as well. When foreign bodies are found in an adult, gastroscopy is helpful in their diagnosis, whereas younger children suspected of bezoar in their stomachs can not undergo gastroscopic examination with safety. According to Murakami et al., the lowest age limit for gastroscopy is thirteen, but they point out that, if fibergastroscope is used instead, endoscopic examination may be feasible to children below that age. The authors have recently encountered a case of phytobezoar in a boy of seven, to whom fibergastroscope has been applied with success. He was attacked with severe vomiting, and by examination foreign bodies were found in his stomach. They were confirmed as bezoars by means of S-S Type FG. Concomitantly gastric ulcer was also found. Subsequently he developed intestinal obstruction on account of them, and foreign bodies were successfully extracted. They were both persimmon kernels.

 In this paper details of endoscopic as well as examination of phytobezoar in a boy of seven are described with special reference to the literature on bezoars of the stomach.
