Dissolution of gastric bezoars using cola.

With great interest, we read the recent article by İşlek et al. (1) “A rare outcome of iron deficiency and pica: Rapunzel syndrome in a 5-year-old child”. The authors discussed a girl who was referred with an abdominal mass and anemia, diagnosed with Rapunzel syndrome. She had no medical history that supported the presence of trichophagy or any psychiatric or neurological disorders. They mentioned that there was the possibility of the existence of a bezoar in children who have anemia and abdominal mass but no neuropsychiatric disorder. We want to mention that gastric bezoars can be treated occasionally with some adjuvant solutions that have the advantage of being noninvasive and inexpensive.
