A 13-year-old Percheron gelding was presented for refractory gastric impaction. At necropsy a pedunculated 10 cm × 11 cm × 14 cm mass, histologically identified as an inflammatory polyp, was suspected to have been partly obstructing the pylorus. This is the first report of a polyp resulting in gastric outflow obstruction in a horse.

Foreign body ingestion of fishbones is a very common complaint where most foreign bodies travel safely through the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) without any serious complications. However, its clinical presentation is nonspecific, and its clinical severity can vary widely, thus requiring the use of conservative and or invasive treatment modalities. In this case report, we present a case of a 42-year-old female who reported eating fish two days prior to presenting with upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT) foreign body impaction in addition to a lower GIT micro-perforation secondary to fishbone ingestion, both of which were successfully managed with conservative, nonsurgical treatment modalities.

Bouveret's syndrome is a rare form of bowel obstruction caused by the impaction of a large gallstone through a cholecystoduodenal fistula, leading to gastric outlet obstruction. This article aims to highlight the clinical presentation and management of this syndrome, given its low incidence and high mortality rate of 12% to 30%. We present the case of an 83-year-old patient with a history of diabetes and hypertension who presented with abdominal pain, distension, and vomiting.

Background: Ingested dental prosthesis are susceptible to impaction in the gastrointestinal tract due to their sharp edges, size and contour. Delays in presentation arise from the lack of clear history of ingestion and misdiagnosis occurs due to the radiolucency of denture material on plain radiography. An acquired, non-malignant tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TOF) may develop from a chronically impacted denture.

Article Synopsis
- Seed bezoars are a type of blockage caused by undigested seeds or fruit pits that can lead to constipation and pain.
- A 48-year-old woman experienced severe constipation, leading to the discovery of sunflower seeds causing a rectal blockage, which was treated with manual evacuation.
- A follow-up CT scan showed a gastric bezoar, which was successfully treated with Coca-Cola, indicating that most seed bezoars can often be managed without surgery and serious complications are uncommon.
