When the trichobezoar extends past the duodenum it is better referred to as Rapunzel Syndrome. Although trichobezoars are well described in terms of surgical diagnostic and procedure, there are only but very scarce reports on psychiatric literature, usually associated with trichotillomania. The authors present a clinical case of trichobezoar and discuss the most relevant aspects concerning this entity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Presentation of psychiatric and surgical data concerning the case report.

It is important to consider such diagnosis in face of suggestive symptoms, even if signs of trichotillomania are not present. The discrepancies between the prevalence of trichotillomania and trichobezoars due to trichophagia may be due to issues related to self-selection of patients and symptom severity. Such issues may also be important in the study of impulsive-compulsive spectrum models and to their relevance to impulse control disorders.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2174\/1745017901208010043","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,28]],"date-time":"2012-05-28T09:30:23Z","timestamp":1338197423000},"page":"43-45","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Trichophagia and Trichobezoar: Case Report"],"prefix":"10.2174","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Santos","family":"Tiago","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Madeira","family":"Nuno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alcafache","family":"Jo\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vicente","family":"Carla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Molinar","family":"Gon\u00e7alo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Noronha","family":"Joana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"965","reference":[{"key":"refR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"661","DOI":"10.7863\/jum.1988.7.12.661","volume":"7","author":"Malpani A","year":"1988","unstructured":"Malpani A, Ramani SK, Wolverson MK.
