ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Enterolithiasis or formation of gastrointestinal concretions is an unusual medical entity that typically occurs in patients suffering from persistent intestinal stasis. We present a rare case of non-obstructive enterolith wedged in the blind end of bowel reconstruction following cystoprostatectomy and ileal conduit formation due to muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Although we watched it grow over the years, radiological characterisation was made possible when it grew to a significant size. We, herein, will discuss the aetiology and complexities associated with the diagnosis and management of such orphan cases given their non-specific clinical presentations in an already hostile abdomen due to multiple laparotomies.
