ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Trichobezoars are a rare cause of intestinal obstruction seen mainly in young females having some form of psychiatric illness. They usually present as hair balls found inside the stomach but sometimes a tail of these hair extends into the intestine which is called Rapunzel’s Syndrome. We had a female child with a history of trichotillomania and trichophagia who presented with intestinal obstruction. The hair tail had broken and got stuck in the jejunum hence the patient presented with intestinal obstruction which is in contrast to the more common presentation of trichobezoars i.e. gastric outlet obstruction.
