| 摘要 |
Trichobezoars are gastrointestinal concretions of ingested hair. These are uncommon conditions that arise in emotionally disturbed or
mentally impaired young women during childhood and adolescence. Rapunzel syndrome is rare gastric trichobezoar that extends beyond
the pylorus, leading to an intestinal obstruction. Gastric trichobezoars do not manifest symptoms until they are very large. Here, we report a
16-year-old girl with a 5-year history of trichophagia and trichotillomania who suffered from a huge (30 7.5 6 cm) gastric trichobezoar
extending into the duodenum (Rapunzel syndrome) that was successfully addressed by laparotomy, psychiatric treatment, and follow-up. |
