Abstract
The presentation of trichobezoar is rare, especially in pediatric populations, since most occur in young women or due to complications from other gastric surgeries. The present work shows the case of a 3-year-old female patient, with a history of chronic anemia who requires surgical management, which is carried out without complications. It is also evident that interdisciplinary management with Mental Health is crucial for follow-up and, above all, to avoid recurrence of the condition, acting on the patient and caregivers in the same way.
