Enterolithiasis: A Rare Cause of Small Bowel Obstruction

Enterolithiasis is characterized by the formation of gastrointestinal stones, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, distention, nausea, and vomiting. This case examines two instances of enterolithiasis, detailing their clinical presentations, diagnostic processes, and treatment approaches. The first case involves a 67-year-old woman with partial improvement after conservative management for intestinal obstruction. The second case describes a 55-year-old diabetic woman with small bowel obstruction and pneumobilia. Both cases required surgical intervention, resulting in successful outcomes and no recurrence over a six-month follow-up. This study highlights the importance of timely diagnosis and appropriate surgical management to prevent complications.
