TL;DR: With the increased use of CT in the evaluation of patients with non-specific abdominal pain, it is important to recognize the CT appearance of bezoars, as this diagnosis is often not suspected clinically.

Gastrointestinal bezoars: sonographic and CT characteristics
TL;DR: Both sonography and CT are reliable methods for diagnosing gastrointestinal bezoars.

Intestinal obstruction due to phytobezoars: An update.
TL;DR: The term bezoar refers to an intraluminal mass in the gastrointestinal system caused by the accumulation of indigestible ingested materials, such as vegetables, fruits, and hair that is responsible for 0.4%-4% of cases of mechanical intestinal obstruction.

Synergistic effect of multiple predisposing risk factors on the development of bezoars.
TL;DR: The presence of multiple predisposing factors may create a synergistic effect in the development of bezoars, and surgery was the most frequent treatment method in this study.

CT findings in patients with small bowel obstruction due to phytobezoar.
Rivka Zissin,Alexandra Osadchy,Vladimir Gutman,Valeria Rathaus,M Shapiro-Feinberg,Gabriela Gayer +5 more
TL;DR: As CT is frequently performed for suspected SBO, an ovoid, short intraluminal mottled mass seen at the site of an obstruction may be regarded as a pathognomonic preoperative sign of an obstructing phytobezoar.

Gastric trichobezoar: an important cause of abdominal pain presenting to the pediatric emergency department.
TL;DR: The case of a 10-year-old girl with a history of chronic epigastric complaints who was ultimately presented with acute small bowel obstruction following fragmentation and distal migration of her gastric trichobezoar is presented.

Small bowel phytobezoars: detection with radiography.
TL;DR: The obstruction caused by small bowel phytobezoars frequently occurred in the jejunum or proximal ileum, more proximally than has been reported in previous series.

Gastric trichobezoar: sonographic findings.
TL;DR: The authors describe a patient in whom the diagnosis was made prior to conventional barium studies and in whose question of trichobezoar had not been raised clinically.

CT diagnosis of a gastric trichobezoar.
John L. Tamminen,David Rosenfeld +1 more
TL;DR: Gastric bezoar was confidently diagnosed based on findings ofputed tomography which demonstrated a non-attached intragastric mass which contained small amounts of air.

Small bowel obstruction due to phytobezoar: CT diagnosis
TL;DR: In both cases, computed tomography demonstrated a well-defined, ovoid intraluminal mass with mottled gas pattern within the dilated small bowel at the site of obstruction and an abruptly collapsed lumen beyond the lesion.
