ACUTE OBSTRUCTIVE SMALL INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION DUE TO THE ILEUM TRICHOBEZOAR

Abstract

The article provides a rare clinical of localization of trichobezozoar in the ileum, which caused acute obstructive obstruction of the small intestine. Hair balls of the intestine are rare. This pathology is most often observed in children (girls) who have a habit of sucking and swallowing their own hair or wool, suffering from trichotillomania on the background of mental decompression. After hair in large quantities are processed with gastric juice, the lump becomes sticky. Due to this, food masses quickly stick to it. Thus, a dense calculus is gradually formed. Trichobezoar without digesting, begins to move into the intestine and can provoke acute pain and blockage of the intestine, thereby causing acute intestinal obstruction.
