Plasticobezoar-another new entity for Rapunzel syndrome.
Rapunzel syndrome- a form of trichobezoar occurs when a gastric trichobezoar extends beyond the pylorus into the bowel. We report two cases of Rapunzel syndrome, one of them caused by ingestion of plastic material, so as to name it as a 'Plasticobezoar'. To the best of our knowledge no Rapunzel syndrome due to this material has been reported so far.
