Abstract

Key Clinical Message Trichobezoar is the pathological formation of a hair mass within the gastrointestinal tract, usually correlated with psychiatric conditions like trichotillomania and trichophagia. Intestinal obstruction represents a significant potential complication. Trichobezoar should be included in the differential diagnosis for young females exhibiting nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms accompanied by abnormal psychiatric behavior.
