Abstract

We report a case of an unusual trichobezoar called Rapunzel syndrome in a 12 year-old-girl diagnosed presurgically with the use of ultrasonography, CT scan and endoscopy. The removal of the mass was performed by a gastrotomy through a mini-laparotomy incision. We want to describe the case of a preadolescent female patient with Rapunzel syndrome and its management, given that it is a rare condition and few cases have been reported in our country.
