Surgical Complications of Pica Syndrome: A Case Series | Chapter 4 | Research Developments in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 1

An overdone or abnormal desire to expend a non-nutritional substance, that may be relatively harmless or potentially ruinous to one's energy, is a defining characteristic of the Pica syndrome, an bulimarexia. It is a rare pain brought on by the development of various instinctive foreign fabrics in the digestive tract, particularly at the stomach level. The most prevalent localisation is gastrointestinal, and it can persist for a lengthened time without syndromes.Many theories about the study of animal of Pica syndrome are known: subjective (acquired behavior), material (stressful events, a abandoned social atmosphere), sensory (mechanical strengthening) and nutritional required (iron and zinc).The process is surgical. We present three cases with digestive Pica syndrome difficulties. The first patient underwent enucleation for a gastrointestinal perforation brought on by ingesting 53 nails, a attach, and tape recorder cartridge bands, the second patient had surgery for a trichobezoar, and the final patient had a subocclusion made by chunks of granite.
