Abstract

Phytobezoar is a rare cause of colonic obstruction in Denmark. We describe a case of a 12-year-old boy who was admitted to the hospital because he had not passed stool in two days and complained of anal pain. The boy had consumed about 200 grams of salted sunflower seeds with shells two days before. Treatment with laxanthia and enemas had no effect and he had to be treated with digital evacuation in general anesthesia. Twenty-four hours later, he was discharged from the hospital with normal bowel function.
