description We report here a rare case of intestinal obstruction caused by a peach seed. A 15-year-old boy was admitted to our hospital because of abdominal pain and vomiting. The patient had no history of previous gastrointestinal surgery and his medical comorbidity was autism. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed an obstruction of the ileum by a foreign body. Surgical treatment was successfully performed, and we found a peach seed in the ileum. He was discharged eight days after the operation without postoperative complications. Intestinal obstruction caused by plant seeds without gastrointestinal disease is rare.
