A 15-year-old girl with average IQ has had abdominal pain for the past 6 months, which has been gradual in onset, progressive dull aching kind, and low in intensity. She had been experiencing tremendous discomfort and weight in her belly for the past ten days, as well as a hard mass in her upper abdomen. In addition, the patient had a history of weight loss. There was no history of nausea, vomiting, or other symptoms that could indicate intestinal obstruction. Patient was scheduled for a laparotomy with gastrostomy under general anaesthesia after obtaining adequate consent due to the bulky nature of the trichobezoar. For four days after surgery, the patient was kept on hyperalimentation and ryle's tube aspiration. A single Packed red blood cell (PRBC) was transfused. On the fourth day, the patient was allowed to eat and was discharged on the seventh day in good condition, with the recommendation to see a psychiatrist. The recovery period was unremarkable. On Day 10, the sutures were removed. |
