摘要：

Rapunzel syndrome is an extremely rare intestinal condition stemming from trichophagia (compulsive ingestion of hair). The syndrome usually causes intestinal obstruction but we report a unique case where it has caused appendicitis. We also reviewed the existing literature on Rapunzel syndrome.
