Abstract

En este artículo se presenta un caso de síndrome de Rapunzel (tricobezoar gástrico con extensión al intestino delgado) en una adolescente con trastorno mixto de ansiedad, depresión y trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo. La paciente sufría de tricotilomanía asociada a disfunción familiar y matoneo escolar. A su llegada al departamento de urgencias, la paciente experimentaba dolor abdominal, aunque no se palpó ni se visualizó por ecografía ninguna masa abdominal, y sus niveles de amilasa y lipasa eran elevados. Debutó con pancreatitis aguda, por lo que requirió laparotomía. En adición al reporte de caso, se presenta una revisión de la literatura disponible sobre el tema.
