A rare case of Rapunzel syndrome in young boy: A case report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Trichobezoars are seen usually in adolescent girls and exploratory laparotomy for removal of trichobezoar is still management of choice though recently endoscopic removal, laparoscopic assisted and laparoscopic removal have been reported in adults and older children, with not much success. Here we report a 7-year-old boy who underwent exploratory laparotomy for removal of gastric trichobezoar, with uneventful recovery. The case is highlighted here for its rarity.
