    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Lactobezoars, though rare, can cause significant gastrointestinal distress in infants.
    • Understanding predisposing factors is crucial for early identification and prevention.

    Observation:

    • A 45-day-old infant presented with vomiting, a primary clinical sign.
    • Radiologic examination of the gastrointestinal tract confirmed the presence of a lactobezoar.

    Findings:

    • The infant's lactobezoar was successfully managed with conservative treatment.
    • Treatment included digestive rest and parenteral rehydration, leading to a favorable outcome.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering lactobezoars in the differential diagnosis of infant vomiting.
  • Effective medical management strategies can resolve lactobezoars, avoiding surgical intervention.
