Gastric trichobezoars--sonographic and computed tomographic appearance

Abstract

We report two young girls with gastric trichobezoars in whom ultrasound, computed tomography and upper gastrointestinal contrast studies were done. Since sonography and, less frequently, computed tomography are usually the first studies obtained in a child with an abdominal mass it is important to recognize the rather distinctive appearance of a trichobezoar on these images.
