Sumario:Trichobezoar, a rare condition of intragastric hair accumulation is commonly associated with an underlying psychological condition. Removal of the bezoar either endoscopically or surgically (laparoscopy or laparotomy) with concurrent psychiatric assessment and treatment is the mode of treatment. We present a 10-year-old child with recurrent trichobezoar, who was managed surgically the first time, and subsequently endoscopic removal was done on recurrence of bezoar after 3 months. We also present the difficulties encountered during endoscopic bezoar removal.
