Abstract
Enterolithiasis or intestinal stones are uncommonly reported. Enterostasis is the
cause of stone formation mainly secondary to tuberculous strictures. Although it
is unusual, enteroliths can cause intestinal obstruction. We report a case of a
mechanical partial intestinal obstruction in a patient with ulcerative colitis
previously treated with total colectomy, with the rare diagnosis of multiple
primary enterolithiasis.
