Abstract
Trichobezoar is a condition characterized by the formation of concretions from hair in the digestive tract, mainly located in the stomach. This condition primarily affects adolescents troubled by psychological disorders. We report a case of a young girl admitted to the gastroenterology department for epigastric pain and vomiting, whose esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed no abnormalities before presenting to the emergency room with an obstructive syndrome. The patient underwent emergency surgery, during which the trichobezoar was surgically removed through an enterotomy with a simple postoperative course. Psychological care was recommended for her, which is the key element in preventing recurrence.
