Small bowel obstruction (SBO) due to fecal matter, though rare, involves the accumulation of hardened stool (fecalomas) leading to a blockage. This condition can cause significant morbidity and may require surgical intervention if non-surgical methods fail [1]. Fecal impaction can exert pressure on the intestinal wall, causing ischemia, inflammation, and even perforation. These complications can be severe, with high mortality rates, particularly in older adults and those with comorbidities like neuropsychiatric disorders or chronic renal failure. We are presenting a case with similar scenario for a young patient, who is not having any mental or neurological, medical issues [2].
