[Lactobezoar in an infant]
Abstract
The authors report a new case of lactobezoar in a 45 day-old infant. Vomiting was the presenting sign. The diagnosis was made using radiologic examination of the gastro-intestinal tract. Medical treatment (digestive rest and parenteral rehydration) resulted in a favourable outcome. The factors favouring such a situation and its management are analysed.
