Trichobezoar, the "hair-ball" occasionally found in the stomach of emotionally disturbed adults, particularly women, is an uncommon finding in the pediatric age group. The diagnosis often rests on the suspicion of the alert physician since most patients will not volunteer information about swallowing hair. The presence of a palpable upper abdominal mass associated with progressive intolerance to food, with weight loss and with weakness, and the roentgenographic appearance of a mass after a barium meal confirms suspicion. Treatment consists of laparotomy and gastrotomy to permit removal of the foreign material. Psychiatric assistance should be sought.
胃石，即偶尔在情绪紊乱的成年人尤其是女性胃中发现的“毛球”，在儿童年龄组中是一种罕见的发现。由于大多数患者不会主动说出吞食毛发的情况，诊断往往依赖于警惕的医生的怀疑。出现可触及的上腹部肿块，伴有对食物的耐受性逐渐降低、体重减轻和虚弱，以及钡餐后肿块的X线表现可证实怀疑。治疗包括剖腹术和胃切开术以取出异物。应寻求精神科帮助。
