Abstract
Background: A bezoar is persistent, ingested material that collects within the gastrointestinal tract. The most common type of bezoar, a gastric trichobezoar, is made up of human hair and found in the stomach. Patients with trichobezoar often remain asymptomatic for many years. The aim of treatment of trichobezoar is removal of the bezoar and to prevent recurrence. Case Report: A 12 year old girl presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. suffering from trichophagia developing trichobezoar. Ultrasonography was suggestive of partial gastric outlet obstruction and barium swallow was suggestive of bezoar in gastric lumen. Conclusion: Trichobezoar should be considered in young females presenting with non-specific abdominal complaints.
