Doctors were left in shock after opening the stomach of a 43 years-old
woman suffering psychic disorders, abdominal pain and vomiting for 10
days with a history of foreign body ingestion only to find nails, pens,
spoon, woods, hair, metal chain and tooth brush.
According to Meddy Bear who shared the photos, the rare condition is
called “Metalbezoar”.
Metal Bezoars are conglomerates of undigested organic matter, which
forms a mass in the gastrointestinal tract. This report describes a patient
who developed a gastric bezoar from ingesting a large number of metal
objects in order to “treat” his pulmonary tuberculosis.
