    Journal: J Coll Physicians Surg Pak; 2014 Nov; 24 Suppl 3():S265-6. PubMed ID: 25518797.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of 2 years old male child who presented with acute intestinal obstruction with palpable and mobile mass in the abdomen. He was diagnosed as a case of intestinal obstruction due to phytobezoar containing cotton threads. Surgical intervention is the treatment of choice for such conditions. Small bowel obstruction due to bezoar made of hair cotton threads is extremely rare. These cases are rarely reported in paediatric age group.
