Introduction:
Bezoars are collections of indigestible foreign material in the gastrointestinal tract that are further classified
according to their composition.
Case Description:
We report a case of a small bowel obstruction secondary to a trichobezoar in a 6 year-old-female requiring
an emergency laparotomy and enterostomy.
Literature Review:
A review of the literature was conducted to identify reports similar to our case. Data regarding clinical
presentation, complications and management was extracted and evaluated.
