Rapunzel Syndrome
The Rapunzel syndrome is an extremely rare intestinal condition in humans resulting from eating hair (trichophagia). The syndrome is named after the long-haired girl Rapunzel in the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. Trichophagia is sometimes associated with the hair-pulling disorder trichotillomania. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapunzel_syndrome http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2846351/ |
