Abstract

BACKGROUND: Intestinal obstruction caused by ball valve syndrome, is a potentially lethal pathology. This case report will show ball valve syndrome in the large intestine (mechanical obstruction) and endoscopic treatment.

CASE PRESENTATION: Our patient presented with abdominal pain and with intestinal obstruction-ileus. After colonoscopic examination was noticed, a large precancerous pedunculated polyp obstructed of large intestine due to ball valve effect. Mechanical obstruction was removed with endoscopic polypectomy.

CONCLUSION: Endoscopic polypectomy must first be performed and if does not succeed, then indicated surgical interventions.
