- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 5-year-old boy who complained of abdominal pain, nonbilious vomiting and obstipation. He was diagnosed with ileal trichobezoar and underwent laparotomy in which the ileo-ileal intussusception was reduced. The symptoms, typical features, diagnosis and treatment of trichobezoar are discussed.
