[Ileus in pregnancy induced by a gastric balloon].
Complications during a pregnancy caused by a gastric balloon as a weight reduction device are presented. We refer about a patient in the 35th week of pregnancy who suffered with abdominal cramping. She was studied for hours before the decision for a laparotomy and cesarean section was made. Just before starting, a gastric balloon which was implanted in the early pregnancy for loss of body weight was expelled and the patient was healthy.
