description Bezoars are a rare and often overlooked cause of small bowel obstruction, arising from an accumulation of indigestible foreign material, often being plant-based in origin. The majority of these cases arise in a predictable patient subgroup. The author presents an unusual case of a small bowel obstruction arising from a chicken bone encased in feculent material in a patient with no classical risk factors for bezoar formation.
