We are presenting two case reports of occupational lead exposure in a lead-based battery manufacturing unit, which were presented as intestinal obstruction. Both the patients aged 28 and 24-year old presented with complaints of pain in the abdomen with blood lead levels of 61.1 and 85\u00a0\u03bcg\/dl, respectively. The diagnosis was made clinically before any other radiological investigation or intervention. Both the patients were treated conservatively with D-Penicillamine, following which, both the patients improved symptomatically and the blood lead level also decreased. The importance of a detailed history of occupation &amp; clinically diagnosing such patient will avoid unnecessary investigation and intervention. This will help to reach the correct diagnosis in such cases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjac281","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,22]],"date-time":"2022-06-22T14:48:52Z","timestamp":1655909332000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Two
