| Popis: |
Rapunzel syndrome or gastrointestinal trichobezoar is caused by hair ingestión. The diagnosis may be suspected in young females with important weight loss, who deny hair eating. We report a 16 year-old female consulting in the emergency room for abdominal pain. She was subjected to an exploratory laparotomy and a big mass was palpated in the stomach. A gastrostomy and enterostomy were performed and a 17x6x5 cm tríchobezoar was extracted. The patient had an uneventful postoperative outcome and was derived to Psychiatry. |
