Abstract

FRAGOSO ARBELO, Trini; LUACES FRAGOSO, Ernesto  and  DIAZ LORENZO, Tamara. Bezoares. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2002, vol.74, n.1, pp. 77-82. ISSN 1561-3119.

Bezoars are collections of ingested materials that are accumulated into the stomach or the small intestine as time goes by. They are unusual foreign bodies composed by hair, vegetable fibers, some minerals, rubber, and even milk or some drug conglomerates. This paper presents an updating of their classification and clinical importance. Emphasis is made on the pathogenesis, the clinical, radiological and endoscopic diagnosis, and the treatment methods.

Keywords : BEZOARS [classification]; BEZOARS [diagnosis]; DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES AND PROCEDURES; ENDOSCOPY, GASTROINTESTINAL; CELLULASA [therapeutic use].
