ABSTRACT
To examine diseases of the small intestines, the use of different methods including a small bowel series and push type enteroscopy have been employed, but these procedures are restrictive and have a low diagnostic accuracy rate. Recently, the use of double balloon enteroscopy has been introduced, and it is expected that this procedure will be of great value for research of diseases of the small intestine as it enables one to obtain a biopsy tissue sample and to perform diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy while examining small intestine visually. We report as case of a patient that visited our institution complaining of abdominal pain, and the patient was diagnosed as suffereing from an intestinal obstruction due to a bezoar. The patient was treated by surgery after an investigation with the aid of a double balloon enteroscope.
