| Abstrakt: | Enterolithiasis, or coprolithiasis, stones formed mainly in the intestine, is uncommon in humans and is generally associated with intestinal stasis. This entity is highly common in some animals, such as horses. Enterolithiasis is usually asymptomatic but may lead to intestinal occlusion and should be considered as a possible cause of this event. We report two cases of enterolithiasis, in which the diagnosis was established by simple abdominal radiography and computed tomography. Although both patients had factors favoring the development of enterolithiasis, a genetic substrate predisposing them to this uncommon clinical entity cannot be excluded.
