Rapunzel syndrome is a rare gastrointestinal pathology in the paediatric population, characterized by an extension of ingested intragastric hairs to an intestinal or even colonic extension. We report a case of gastroduodenal and intestinal trichobezoar in a 5-year-old girl, who consulted with an occlusive syndrome in whom the diagnosis of gastric and intestinal trichobezoar was diagnosed by ultrasound and confirmed intra-operatively. Our aim is to clarify the value of imaging in the diagnosis of this entity.
