The Rapunzel Syndrome in a Four-year-old Girl

Öz:
Trichobezoar is a rare pathology in which swallowed hair accumulates in the stomach. An unusual form of bezoar extending from the stomach to the small intestine or beyond is described as Rapunzel syndrome (RS). Trichobezoars typically cause abdominal pain and nausea, but can also present as an asymptomatic abdominal mass, progressing to abdominal obstruction and perforation. Trichobezoar with RS is an uncommon diagnosis. It is predominantly found in emotionally disturbed or mentally retarded young people. The diagnosis may be suspected in young females with abdominal pain, epigastric mass, and malnutrition, who have a history of trichophagia. We present a case of successful laparotomy removal of a gastro-duodenal trichobezoar in a 4-year-old girl with a history of trichotillophagia. The psychodynamic aspects, clinical manifestations, diagnoses, and therapeutic strategies are discussed.

Dört Yaşındaki Bir Kız Çocuğunda Rapunzel Sendromu

Öz:
Trikobezoar, yutulan kılların midede birikmesi sonucu oluşan nadir bir patolojidir. Mideden ince bağırsağa veya ötesine uzanan alışılmadık bir bezoar formu, Rapunzel sendromu (RS) olarak tanımlanır. Trikobezoarlar tipik olarak karın ağrısı ve mide bulantısına neden olur, ancak aynı zamanda obstrüksiyon ve perforasyona ilerleyen asemptomatik bir abdominal kitle olarak da ortaya çıkabilir. Trikobezoarın neden olduğu RS nadir görülen bir tanıdır. Ağırlıklı olarak emosyonel olarak sıkıntılı veya zihinsel engelli gençlerde görülür. Trikofaji öyküsü olan karın ağrısı, epigastrik kitle ve yetersiz beslenme olan genç kadınlarda bu tanıdan şüphelenilebilir. Biz burada trikotillofaji öyküsü olan ve başarılı bir laparotomi ile çıkarılan gastro duodenal trikobezoarlı 4 yaşında kız olguyu psikodinamik yönler, klinik belirtiler, tanı ve tedavi stratejileri açısından tartışarak sunuyoruz.
