Bowel occlusions by bezoars are rare pathologies. They are due to an ob-struction of the intestinal lumen by a solid mass of fruits or undigested vegetable fibers. They are seasonal (wild fruit season from March to June) in the Sahel Zone. We report a case of small bowel obstruction in a 35-year-old rural man after swallowing a significant amount of wild grapes (Lannea microcarpa). We proceeded to the resection of the occluded ileal segment and performed an ileal terminal ileal anastomosis. There weren’t any complications during the postoperative site.
