Abstract

Bezoars are defined as foreign bodies formed in the stomach and/or small bowel due to an accumulation of swallowed substances. The most common complication associated with gastrointestinal trichobezoar is intestinal obstruction and, less frequently, small bowel perforation. For this reason the diagnosis must be established as early as possible, in order to provide an effective treatment. The Rapunzel Syndrome is a rare form of gastric trichobezoar extending, throughout the bowel, therefore we report, it here.

Özet

Bezoarlar yutulan maddelerin mide ve/veya ince barsakta birikmeleri ile oluşan yabancı cisimleri tanımlamada kullanılır. Gastrointestinal trikobezoarların en sık komplikasyonu intestinal obstrüksiyonlardır. Nadir olarak ince barsak perforasyonları da görülebilir. Bu nedenle hasta komplikasyonlar gelişmeden erken teşhis edilerek tedavi edilmelidir. Biz de mideden barsağa uzanım gösteren nadir gastrik trikobezoar formu olan Rapunzel sendromunu tartışmayı amaçladık.
