Lactobezoar in a full-term breast-fed infant

S S Usmani et al. Am J Gastroenterol. 1989 Jun.

Abstract

A full-term, healthy, breast-fed infant presenting with apnea and cyanosis was found to have a gastric bezoar during a contrast upper gastrointestinal study. The condition resolved spontaneously, with no recurrence of symptoms after resumption of feeding. This represents an unusual case, in that the infant had none of the previously described predisposing factors to bezoar formation.
