Bezoar

Nombres alternativos:

Tricobezoar; Bola de pelo

Prevención:

Cuando un niño tiene antecedentes de haber tenido un bezoar, se recomienda cortarle el cabello de forma que no pueda llevar sus puntas a la boca, así como mantener los materiales indigeribles lejos de su alcance, sobre todo cuando tiene la tendencia a llevarse objetos a la boca.

También hay que estar seguros de que el niño no tenga acceso a materiales vellosos o constituidos de fibra.
