Abstract
Rapunzel syndrome is a rare clinical entity in which a trichobezoar is produced by the ingestion of hair at the gastric level, extending in the form of a tail towards the duodenum. It occurs in young patients with trichotillomania and trichophagia. We present the case of a 24-year-old woman with a history of anxiety without treatment, who for 10 years presented trichotillomania and trichophagia, producing a picture of intestinal obstruction that required surgical intervention, evidencing a giant Trichobezoar throughout the gastric cavity and one jejunum associated with diastatic perforation. duodenal.
