Résumé

Bezoars result from the aggregation of ingested materials (food, drugs, hair) that accumulate at a certain anatomic level in the gastrointestinal tract. It is a rare condition, which is favoured by a reduction in intestinal motility, or by a primary abnormality reducing the patency of gastrointestinal tract.
