Primary enterolith-induced small bowel obstruction in an elderly male without underlying intestinal pathology: A case report
Enteroliths are a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. When obstruction is caused by an enterolith, it is often associated with underlying intestinal anomalies, such as diverticula. Acute intestinal obstruction in a structurally normal intestine is extremely uncommon. Although enterolith-induced…
