Description
Summary:The article describes the stages of diagnostics and treatment of a child with the stomach and jejunum trichobezoars, starting from the regional hospital and ending with a children’s medical republican institution. The operation, which was performed 2 days after the child’s hospitalization, consisted in enterotomy, gastrotomy and the trichobezoars extraction. The postoperative period was uneventful. The significant difficulty in trichobezoars recognition in children requires the development of an action algorithm at all stages of the diagnostic process.
