  • Title: Trichobezoars Detected and Treated Based on Plain Radiography.
    Author: Barrows A, Vachon T, Campin RC, Ignacio RC.
    Journal: Mil Med; 2015 Oct; 180(10):e1136-8. PubMed ID: 26444484.
    Abstract:
    Bezoars are conglomerations of indigestible material that become trapped in the gastrointestinal tract. We present a case of an 8-year-old female child diagnosed with a gastric bezoar solely on plain radiography and treated with abdominal surgical exploration and removal. In addition, traditional characteristic radiographic findings and treatment options for bezoars found in the current literature are reviewed.
