When Hair Causes Harm: A Rare Case of Intestinal Bowel Obstruction by a Trichobezoar Mimicking an Acute Intestinal Intussusception

We report a rare case of a five-year-old girl with small bowel obstruction caused by an intestinal trichobezoar. The clinical picture was concerning due to the absence of symptom improvement and the emergence of bilious vomiting accompanied by progressive abdominal distention, raising suspicion for mechanical bowel obstruction. A rare and challenging clinical scenario arises when an intestinal trichobezoar mimics acute intestinal intussusception, leading to diagnostic confusion and potential treatment delays.
