Enterolith or concretion in the bowel is rare entity in humans. It is found to be associated with various diseases of intestine but its presentation mimicking urinary bladder calculi on radiograph makes it interesting. A 38 year old patient presented with lower abdominal pain and dysuria. Plain radiograph of abdomen was showing radiopaque densities in pelvis falling in close proximity of urinary bladder. However further investigation revealed them to be in the small intestine proximal to a narrow segment, possibly a stricture. Patient underwent laparotomy with resection of affected bowel segment and end to end anastomosis. Histopathology report showed it to be a nonspecific inflammatory stricture of small bowel with enteroliths. |
