초록

과일이나 식물 덩어리들이 뭉쳐서 종괴를 형성하는 식물위석은 대장폐색의 매우 드문 원인이다. 대장 식물위석이 매우 드물고 분변 종괴로 오인할 수 있기 때문에, 복부 전산화단층 촬영의 도움에도 불구하고 정확한 진단이 지연되어 심각한 합병증이 유발 될 수 있다. 저자들은 당뇨병성 말기신부전과 만성 변비를 가진 67세 여자에서 식물위석으로 인한 대장폐색을 대장내시경으로 진단한 증례를 보고한다. 본 증례는 복부 전산화단층촬영에서 식물위석을 진단할 수 없었지만, 대장내시경을 이용하여 대장에 박혀있는 다발성 식물위석을 진단하고 제거할 수 있었다. 식물위석에 의한 대장폐색을 대장내시경 검사를 통해 조기에 진단하고 치료하여 수술적 치료를 피할 수 있었던 증례를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고한다.

Colonic phytobezoars are defined as conglomerate masses of fruit or vegetable matter in the colon, and these have rarely reported as a cause of colon obstruction. Because it is extremely rare, its correct diagnosis might be delayed even with the aid of abdominal computed tomography. We report here on a case of diagnosed colonic obstruction due to colonic phytobezoars in a 67-year-old female with diabetic end stage renal disease and chronic constipation. Although abdomino- pelvic computed tomography did not demonstrate the presence of phytobezoars, multiple phytobezoars impacted in the colon were found and these were removed by colonoscopy. This is a rare case in that colonic obstruction due to phytobezoar was diagnosed early and it was treated by colonoscopy.
