Popis:	Castor bean is one of the most toxic natural poisons, especially the seeds and pods. We report a patient who ate nearly 30 castor beans heated in a microwave oven. He presented with infectious gastroenteritis like symptoms. Plain abdominal radiograph and abdomen CT studies showed dilated intestinal tract. It was a rare report that a patient after eating so many castor beans could have his clinical manifestation as acute gastroenteritis without any hepatic and renal dysfunction.
