In science, bezoar is a mass of hair or undigested vegetable matter, found in a human or animal's in-
testines, similar to a hairball. Usually, it is found trapped in every part of the gastrointestinal system and
must be distinguished by pseudobezoar which is an indigestive object voluntarily introduced into the
digestive tract. The term Bezoar is from Arabic b azahr, “bezoar” or ultimately from Middle Persian pʾtzhl
p adzahr, “antidote, bezoar”ægagropile o egagropile It should be a universal antidote that works against
any poison, and could neutralize any poison. Otherwise, the name could derive from a kind of Turkish
goat whose name is just bezoar. Authors report a case of fecal impaction by pumpkin seeds bezoar with
abdominal pain: a difficulty to void with subsequent rectal inflammation and hemorrhoid enlargement
was observed. The patient underwent a successful manual disimpaction. Guidelines do not require IRB
approval Authors examined the literature about occlusion from bezoar The most common causes of
occlusion from bezoar are: a previous gastric surgery such as a gastric band (for weight loss) or gastric
bypass, a reduced stomach acid (hypochlorhydria) or decreased stomach size, a delayed gastric emptying,
typically due to diabetes, autoimmune disorders, or mixed connective tissue disease. Seed bezoars are
usually found in the rectum of patients without predisposing factors, causing constipation and pain.
Rectal impaction is common after ingestion of seeds while a true occlusion is rare. Although several cases
of phytobezoars composed of various types of seeds are reported in literature, bezoars of pumpkin seeds
have rarely been reporte
