A trichobezoar is a mass of undigested hair in the proximal gastrointestinal tract. It is a rare condition seen in young females with psychiatric disorders of trichotillomania and trichophagia or mental retardation. We present a case of an intellectually impaired 14-year-old girl with a gastric trichobezoar discovered during an emergency laparotomy. We will discuss the limited but salient findings on history and examination. Through a review of the literature, imaging modalities and treatment options for the early versus late stage of trichobezoar presentations will be identified. Through our case, subsequent holistic management will also be highlighted to prevent recurrence.
