Abstract
Two cases of trichobezoar in young emotionally disturbed West Indian children are reported; one was due to blanket-chewing and the other was due to trichotillomania. Both were treated successfully by surgery. The previously undescribed physical sign of indentability is introduced. The literature on trichobezoars is reviewed.Entities:
