Abstract
An 89-year-old male patient with a complex medical history presented with symptoms of postprandial bilious vomiting, abdominal discomfort, and constipation. Diagnostic imaging revealed a potential bezoar obstructing the distal ileum, which led to obstruction. The patient underwent a single-balloon enteroscopy, which successfully fragmented and removed the bezoar, relieving the obstruction.
