Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus with Gastric Trichobezoar

Trichobezoars are gastric concretions composed of hair, usually found in long haired girls or young women [1]. Definite correlation exists between bezoars and psychotic illness and disorders affecting gut motility especially gastroparesis diabetecorum [2, 3, 4]. Most bezoars have come to the attention of surgeons when the bezoar passed from the stomach to the small intestine and caused obstruction. Most of the reported cases have been treated by operative removal of the bezoar [5]. We are presenting a patient of Type-2 diabetes complicated by background retinopathy, sensorimotor neuropathy and endogenous depression with gastric trichobezoar.
