Abstract
Enteral feed bezoars are a rare and difficult to treat complication of enteral feeding. In our case, we report the case of a young man with prolonged admission at the intensive care unit; who requires enteral nutrition. This doesn’t run properly after a week; which is why we performed an endoscopy with the finding of an esophageal bezoar that didn’t respond to endoscopic treatment at first; being finallay resolved with a second endoscopic therapy after treatment with solvent substances.
