| Abstrakt: |
Bezoar consist of the accumulation of different substances in the digestive tract. We present the clinical case of a girl with gastric trichobezoar discovered in a postoperatory follow-up to an appendicectomy. Ultra-sound images and oesophagus-gastric transit are fundamental points in the diagnosis. Endoscopy was useful in confirming the diagnosis and in ruling out associated ulcus, frequent in these patients. Surgical treatment is the choice in big bezoar but laser, prokinetics and enzymatic dissolutions have also been used. Theses patients should undergo psychological control. |
