Rapunzel syndrome is an uncommon presentation of trichobezoar in which the swallowed hairs extend as a tail through the small intestine, beyond the stomach. Till now, cases of isolated bezoars in the bowel and those of Rapunzel syndrome have been reported but in the present case, there was double impaction of trichobezoar, one in the stomach and another in the ileum, which has rarely been reported in the literature.
