Abstract
Perforated gastrointestinal trichobezoarThe gastrointestinal tract bezoars are considered an infrequent pathology; they are collections of ingested material that accumulates in the stomach and intestines. Trichobezoar refers to the cumuli of hair; its clinic suspicion is established in young patients, especially women with history of an epigastric mass, weight loss and obstructive symptoms. Diagnosis can be made by imaging and endoscopy and the treatment consists in its removal. It is presented a case of a young female patient with a perforated trichobezoar which was treated at our service of General Surgery of the Hospital Universitario de Santander.
Key words: Trichobezoar. Bezoars. Trichophagia.
