  • Title: The Rapunzel syndrome: an unusual trichobezoar.
    Author: Wolfson PJ, Fabius RJ, Leibowitz AN.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1987 Apr; 82(4):365-7. PubMed ID: 3565346.
    Abstract:
    We report the fourth and youngest patient in the literature with a trichobezoar extending from the stomach through the entire length of the small intestine to the cecum. The clinician must consider the possible presence of a "tail" in any patient presenting with a bezoar. Salient clinical features of trichobezoars are reviewed.
