Abstract

Bezoars are collection of foreign indigestible material accumulating in the gastrointestinal tract leading to intraluminal mass formation that impairs the gastrointestinal motility and can lead to obstruction of the small or the large bowel. These include phytobezoar, lactobezoar, pharmacobezoar, trichobezoar, and polybezoar. A trichobezoar is a mass of undigested hair within the gastrointestinal tract. Trichobezoars are seen in psychiatric young female with known to be trichophagic [1]. Most common site of trichobezoar is the stomach. If trichophagia is not detected earlier then it can develop into Rapunzel Syndrome. Recurrence is overwhelming without psychiatric treatment after the surgery.
