Case report details the formation of a barium sulfate bezoar during gastric study, implying risks in patients with intestinal obstruction.
A clinical case of a patient with a foreign body of the stomach (barium sulfate bezoar) is presented. The research was based on the medical history data of a patient from the First Republican Clinical Hospital of the Ministry of Health of Udmurt Republic in Izhevsk. The method of Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to study the composition of a gastric foreign body using the FSM 2201 apparatus. A possible etiopathogenesis of a barium sulfate bezoar has been proposed. The molecular composition of a sample of a foreign body (barium sulfate bezoar) of the stomach was studied. A rare complication, i.e. the formation of a barium sulfate bezoar of the stomach during a barium transit study (Schwartz test) against the background of paralytic intestinal obstruction in a patient with infected pancreatic necrosis is described.
