Core Tip |
We presented the case of an adolescent female with Mallory-Weiss syndrome due to a giant intragastric trichobezoar formed after several years of a misunderstood condition of hair-eating, worsened by the forced isolation during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Accurate anamnesis, the strong involvement of family that has always denied any responsibility, and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were used to reach the diagnosis. Since the excessive dimension of the trichobezoar inhibited endoscopic treatment, the entire foreign body was removed via surgery. After an uneventful postoperative period, the patient was referred to a Psychiatric Unit for further treatment. |
