  • Title: [Intestinal occlusions due to enteroliths].
    Author: Melodia G, Bossi MC, Rusconi F.
    Journal: Arch Sci Med (Torino); 1978; 135(4):633-5. PubMed ID: 756725.
    Abstract:
    Enteroliths or intestinal autochthonous calculi are among the rare causes of intestinal occlusion. A personal case in which the central nucleus of the stercolith consisted of gunshot is reported. The literature is reviewed, particular attention being laid on pathogenetic aspects, and the frequent complications of this pathology are recalled. The casual radiological finding of an enterolith generally means surgery only for those with caeco-appendicular localization.
