Summary: Bezoars are a rare cause of gastrointestinal obstruction, most commonly composed of plant material, hair, or medications. We report the case of a woman in her 70s who presented with small bowel obstruction secondary to multiple squid bezoars. Computed tomography did not identify a bezoar, and the diagnosis was made intraoperatively following exploratory laparotomy, enterotomy, and removal of multiple bezoars. Her postoperative course was complicated by ileus requiring temporary parenteral nutrition; however, she progressed to oral intake by postoperative day 9 and has since recovered well.
