Abstract EN
The Rapunzel syndrome is an unusual form of trichobezoar found in patients with a history of psychiatric disorders, trichotillomania (habit of hair pulling) and trichophagia (morbid habit of chewing the hair), consequently developing gastric bezoars.
The principal symptoms are vomiting and epigastric pain.
In this case report, we describe this syndrome in a young girl.
