    Author: Ha SS, Lee HS, Jung MK, Jeon SW, Cho CM, Kim SK, Choi YH.
    Journal: Korean J Intern Med; 2007 Dec; 22(4):300-3. PubMed ID: 18309693.
    Abstract:
    Bezoars are concretions or hard masses of foreign matter that are found in the gastrointestinal tract. Recent reports have demonstrated the efficacy of Coca-Cola administration for the dissolution of phytobezors. Here we report on a 73-year-old man with a very large gastric persimmon diospyrobezoar, and this caused small intestinal obstruction after partial dissolution with oral and injected Coca-Cola.
