[Clinical follow-up of patients who ingested narcotic filled bags as a rare cause of mechanical bowel obstruction: case report].
Two patients were admitted to the emergency service of Haseki Education and Research Hospital due to ingestion of narcotic filled bags. Incomplete mechanical bowel obstruction developed in one of them. Both patients were treated conservatively with cleansing enema and were discharged from the hospital without any complication. We present clinical follow-up of these patients with literature review.
