Abstract
A trichobezoar is a mass formed by ingestion and accumulation of undigested hair inside the gastrointestinal tract. Stomach is the most common site which may extend to duodenum as well as jejunum, which is then referred as Rapunzel Syndrome. Incidence of trichobezoar in paediatric population is around 0.4% [1]. It is seen typically in girls usually with a history of trichotillomania and trichophagia. Affected children may remain unnoticed until it causes obstructive symptoms. We hereby report a unique case of isolated jejunal trichobezoar presenting as intestinal obstruction in an 8yr old girl.
