title: Gastric trichobezoar: sonographic findings.
abstract: Ultrasonographic diagnosis of trichobezoar may be relatively specific. A broad band of high-amplitude echoes can be seen superficially, with complete sonic shadowing behind. The authors describe a patient in whom the diagnosis was made prior to conventional barium studies and in whom the question of trichobezoar had not been raised clinically.
