  • Title: Trichobezoar.
    Author: Mir A.
    Journal: J Coll Physicians Surg Pak; 2011 Dec; 21(12):763-5. PubMed ID: 22166700.
    Abstract:
    The case report describes a 13 years old girl, who presented with 3 days history of nausea. She had a hard palpable mass in abdomen and anaemia. There was a history of hair ingestion for the past 3 years, which gave the first clue to the diagnosis of trichobezoar. Radiology helped diagnose the condition with basic modalities including ultrasound, plain X-ray abdomen and upper gastrointestinal contrast study. The diagnosis was confirmed by endoscopy and the bezoar was successfully removed by gastrotomy.
