%X bezoar is a cluster of swallowed and undigested material in the gastrointestinal tract which can cause intestinal obstruction. it has multiple subtypes and the phytobezoar (composed of vegetable fiber) is the most common. we report a patient admitted with intestinal obstruction caused by impaction of multiples seeds of jaboticaba in the rectum. the treatment included multiple enemas, laxatives and digital maneuvers and it was effective after four days. only one similar report was found in the literature.
