Rapunzel syndrome is a rare condition typically found in young female patients with mental or psychiatric disorders. It manifests as a large trichobezoar extending beyond the pylorus into the small intestine and leads to various adverse conditions. Early diagnosis and prompt management are crucial to avoiding complications. These bezoars are extracted endoscopically, laparoscopically and via open surgery (most common). In this current report, we discuss a successful laparoscopic extraction of a trichobezoar in a 12-yearold girl with acute abdominal pain due to small bowel obstruction. We describe our technique compared with others’ techniques and include a literature review on this topic.
