Abstract

Trichobezoar needs to be suspected even in children who present with obstructed outlet of stomach and an acute abdomen, regardless of whether or not they have a history of trichophagia and trichotillomania. Early diagnosis and surgery become very important where there is a presence of perforated stomach with peritonitis.
