Rapunzel syndrome is an unusual and rare form of gastric trichobezoar that extends into the small intestine. The formation is due to the continuous ingestion of hair which leads to the impaction of the hair along with mucus and food, but it is rare that gastric perforation occurs. We report the case of a female patient of 16 years of age admitted to our institution with a history of depression and clinical symptoms characterized by nausea, severe epigastralgia and pathological loss of weight. The physical examination showed a tense abdomen with a peritoneal reaction. Contrast-enhanced tomography showed a distended stomach with a heterogeneous content that extended to the duodenum, hydro pneumoperitoneum, Douglas sack bottom liquid, and it was decided to perform an exploratory laparotomy. Showed perforation in the anterior face of the stomach which is infrequent, so we proceeded to the extraction of giant trichobezoar with duodenal extension; Evolving favorably, the patient being referred to outpatient controls with psychiatry; Finally, a high endoscopy was performed at 6 months, which evidenced the scar of the surgical procedure.
