Abstract
A bezoar is a mass of indigestible material that accumulates in the digestive tract, sometimes causing a blockage. Bezoars usually form in the stomach, sometimes in the small intestine or, rarely, the large intestine. Trichobezoars are the commonest type of bezoars. Rapunzel syndrome, Intestinal obstruction and small bowel perforation all are rare presentation of bezoars and presentation of all of these in a single patient is even rarer. We are reporting a very rare and interesting case of a 12 years old girl presented with three different type of bezoars with all these rare complications Rapunzel syndrome, intestinal obstruction and jejunal perforation.
