Intestinal Obstruction Associated with Pharmacobezoar in a Patient with Crohn’s Disease: A Case Report

Abstract

Crohn’s disease might result from a complex interplay between genetic susceptibility, environmental factors, and altered gut microbiota, leading to dysregulated innate and adaptive immune responses. The reported case presents a patient with intestinal subocclusion associated with a pharmacobezoar who had a good evolution with clinical treatment. This case report aims to demonstrate the complexity of diagnostic search, even with the classic version of the disease. And it also comes to show the need for a thorough medical history and differential diagnosis investigation.
