Abstract
Trichobezoar is a foreign body in the digestive tract, made up of hair and fibers. Rarely encountered, and usually occurring in adolescent girls with a proven psychiatric history, it is often strictly gastric in location. We report the case of a 21-year-old breast-feeding patient with a poorly elucidated psychiatric history, who unconsciously consumed her own hair for two years. Upper digestive endoscopy was sufficient to make a positive diagnosis. Treatment was surgical, and the post-operative course was straightforward.
We therefore strongly recommend oesogastroduodenal fibroscopy in the management of identical forms. However, supportive psychotherapy after surgical treatment should be the rule.
