Abstract
- Trichobezoars are commonly found within the stomach, but rarely induce small bowel obstruction. We report an 8-year-old girl who presented with bilious vomiting and colicky abdominal pain. She had a history of depression and trichophagia. A diagnosis of small bowel obstruction was made on computed tomography and a trichobezoar in the ileum was evacuated by exploratory laparatomy.
