“…Psyllium bezoar causing small bowel obstruction has been reported in elderly populations that chronically use high concentrations of psyllium without adequate water consumption (19,20). Incidents of psyllium bezoar causing esophageal obstruction have also been described in patients who ingest dry psyllium preparations without adequate water (21)(22)(23)(24).…”

The authors report a case series describing four patients who developed small bowel obstruction following the use of psyllium seed husk as an oral contrast agent for computed tomography or magnetic resonance enterography. Radiologists who oversee computed tomography and magnetic resonance enterography should be aware of this potential complication when using psyllium seed husk and other bulking agents, particularly when imaging patients with known or suspected small bowel strictures or active inflammation.

“…Food bezoars can occur in weight-loss surgery patients, most commonly after gastric banding [89,90]. When they occur in patients seen after RYGB, they most commonly occur within the gastric pouch, although there are numerous case reports demonstrating their development at the jejunojejunal anastomosis [91][92][93].…”

“…Fox, et al and Deitel, et al have previously reported gastric bezoar formation after vertical banded gastroplasty [3,4]. More recently, bezoars have been reported in bariatric patients after laparoscopic roux-en-y gastric bypass and laparoscopic adjustable gastric band placement [6][7][8]. Although rare, the purpose of this report is to increase awareness of the problem, so clinicians will have a high index of suspicion for its diagnosis when bariatric patients present with obstructive symptoms.…”

Gastric bezoars are uncommon in the bariatric surgery population. Though popular in earlier decades, the Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG) is no longer a staple procedure in the United States. It has been supplanted by the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) and the laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) as the most commonly performed bariatric procedures. However, there are many patients who have previously undergone VBGs, and may present with associated complications. We present a case of a gastric obstruction caused by a bezoar in a patient who had a VBG fifteen years prior to presentation

Gastric Bezoars after Adjustable Gastric Banding

Abstract: Gastric bezoar should be considered after LAGB if the patient complains of persistent high fullness and vomiting.
