Abstract
Trichobezoars are gastrointestinal concretions of ingested hair. These are uncommon conditions that arise in emotionally disturbed or mentally impaired young females during childhood and adolescence. Rapunzel syndrome is rare gastric trichobezoar that extends beyond the pylorus, leading to an intestinal obstruction. Gastric trichobezoars do not manifest symptoms until they are very large. Here, we report a 16-year-old girl, with 5 years history of trichophagia and trichotillomania, who suffered a huge (30 cm × 7.5 cm × 6 cm) gastric trichobezoar extending into duodenum (Rapunzel syndrome) that was successfully addressed by laparotomy, psychiatric treatment and follow-up
毛虫是摄入的头发在胃肠道形成的结块。这些不常见的情况出现在情绪紊乱或精神受损的年轻女性在童年和青春期。莴苣综合征是一种罕见的胃毛状息肉，它延伸到幽门之外，导致肠梗阻。胃毛虫直到很大时才表现出症状。在此，我们报告一名16岁的女孩，有5年的食毛癖和拔毛癖病史，她患有巨大(30 cm × 7.5 cm × 6 cm)的胃拔毛，并延伸到十二指肠(Rapunzel综合征)，经剖腹手术、精神治疗和随访成功解决
