Abstract EN

A 17-year-old girl presented with bilious vomiting and abdominal pain to the surgery department.

The history was positive for trichotillomania and trichophagia.

A CT scan showed a mass in the stomach, which was highly suspicious for a gastric bezoar.

Drooping parts of the bezoar caused a duodenal obstruction with secondary acute pancreatitis.

The bezoar was removed via a laparoscopically performed gastrotomy.
