    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Allergy and Immunology
    • Clinical Nutrition

    Background:

    • Atopic conditions, including eczema and asthma, are common in infants.
    • Cow's milk protein intolerance (CMPI) presents diagnostic challenges in infants with allergic predispositions.
    • Lactobezoars are rare gastric foreign bodies composed of milk curds.

    Observation:

    • A 9.5-month-old infant with a family history of atopy presented with eczema, asthma, and diagnosed CMPI.
    • Gastric lactobezoar was identified as the cause of the infant's symptoms.
    • The infant experienced significant symptom improvement following intervention.

    Findings:

    • Successful management of a gastric lactobezoar in an infant with multiple atopic conditions.
    • Lactobezoar removal led to resolution of gastrointestinal distress and allergic symptoms.
    • Dietary modification was crucial for sustained recovery.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the potential for lactobezoars to manifest in infants with atopic conditions and CMPI.
    • Emphasizes the importance of considering rare gastrointestinal obstructions in infants with persistent allergic symptoms.
    • Underscores the efficacy of combined surgical and dietary management for lactobezoar-related complications.
