Pica is a psychotic disorder characterized by compulsive ingestion of nonfood substances; the primary treatment is the prevention with antipsychotic therapy. When the patient ingests foreign body, endoscopical removal is recommended. Surgical treatment is necessary when an acute abdomen is present, with intestinal occlusion and/or bowel perforation. The Authors report a peculiar case of pica, and analyse the problems of organization and assistance, besides surgical approach, also on the base of international literature.
