title: [Small-bowel ileus caused by a gold filling].
abstract: A 68-years-old man was admitted to hospital with signs of intestinal obstruction. Computed tomography showed a foreign body, and the patient underwent laparotomy which revealed a gold filling in the jejunum. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of a gold filling causing intestinal obstruction.
