Abstract :

Enterolithiasis, or presence of stone concretions in the gastrointestinal tract, is an important but relatively uncommon clinical condition. It is most commonly found in animals especially equines. In humans clinical presentation of this condition is varied and sometimes masquerading other intra abdominal pathologies. Clinically insignificant incidentally noted enteroliths may shift attention from primary non-enterolith related pathology of the patient that may be responsible for a current clinical presentation. Here we are reporting four cases of incidentally detected enterolithiasis at our hospital with review of literature.
