A Sharp Lesson: Duodenal Perforation 2 Months after Ingestion of a Pin.

ABSTRACT: An 11-year-old female child presented 2 months after accidentally swallowing her hijab pin, with right-sided abdominal pain. An X-ray showed that the pin was located in her right upper quadrant, and at laparoscopy, it was found to have eroded through her duodenum into her liver. Ingested pins should always be removed if not passed spontaneously within the first few days.

Duodenal perforation nine months after accidental foreign body ingestion, a case report.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Foreign body ingestion is a scenario occasionally encountered in the emergency room. Pediatric and psychiatric patients are the two most common populations suffering from accidental or in some cases intentional ingestion of foreign bodies. Commonly, majority of cases require no specific treatment and the swallowed objects pass through the digestive tract spontaneously without causing any significant complications. Less than 1% of the cases complicates with gastrointestinal tract perforation, which are often caused by sharp objects, which warrants surgical intervention. The average time from foreign body ingestion to development of perforation was noted at 10.4?days in previous reports. These cases often present in rapidly progressing peritonitis and are subsequently managed by emergent laparotomy. In this case report, we describe an accidental chopstick ingestion of a patient who initially was misdiagnosed and remained asymptomatic for nine months, then presented with acute abdomen. CASE PRESENTATION:A 27-year-old man accidentally ingested a wooden chopstick and sought consult at a clinic. Negative abdominal plain film misled the physician to believe ingested chopstick was digested into fragments and passed out unnoticed. The patient presented acute abdomen caused by duodenal perforation nine months later and was subsequently treated with emergency laparotomy with primary duodenorrhaphy. CONCLUSIONS:Negative plain films are not sufficient to conclude a conservative treatment in foreign body ingestion. Computed tomography scan or endoscopic examinations should be done to rule out retained foreign body within gastrointestinal tract.

Esophageal Perforation following Accidental Ingestion of a Razor Blade.

Project description:BackgroundIngestion of sharp foreign bodies is uncommon and often underreported. It can present with esophageal perforation which is a life-threatening complication requiring prompt diagnosis and management. Case Presentation. We report a case of accidental ingestion of a razor blade in a chronic alcoholic who presented with hematemesis after an esophageal perforation, the diagnosis of which was confirmed by radiology.ConclusionEarly recognition of esophageal perforation is crucial for early intervention. Proper history taking and radiological investigations are a key to reaching a diagnosis.

Esophageal perforation by tilapia fish bone ingestion - A case report.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Esophageal perforation (EP) is a rare, severe and challenging surgical emergency which can be caused by several factors. This report presents the case of a patient with EP caused by ingestion of a Tilapia fish bone. PRESENTATION OF CASE:A 41-year-old male patient presented with a six-day history of painful right-sided neck swelling, associated with a progressive dysphagia, regurgitation, fever and chills. Physical examination revealed an axillary temperature of 39?°C and a subcutaneous emphysema in the neck. Cervical spine x-ray and ultrasound scan revealed a neck foreign body with abscess. The case was managed by a right cervicotomy. DISCUSSION:Despite over 20-years of clinical experience in Ghana, this was the first case of EP caused by a 2?cm long Tilapia fish bone, to be treated by the authors. This is significant because tilapia consumption is very popular in Ghana and it would be predicted that such cases would be more common. It is suggested that such cases do occur more frequently but are not reported to hospitals due to cultural-spiritual beliefs. CONCLUSION:Ingestion of Tilapia fish bones can cause significant damage to the esophagus and Tilapia should be consumed with care. Ultrasound is a very useful tool with high diagnostic accuracy for EP. Further studies are needed to establish the prevalence of EP from fish bone ingestion in Ghana and the factors accounting for the mismatch between the high consumption of Tilapia across the population and the low occurrence of patients presenting with EP from fish bone ingestion.

Scrotal abscess as a manifestation of posterior duodenal perforation; a very rare presentation.

Project description:Posterior perforation of duodenal ulcers is very rare; the infection may spread from the retroperitoneal space to the scrotum. A 75-year-old male presented with painful right scrotal swelling for 2 days associated with fever. During abdominal examination there was abdominal tenderness and scrotal swelling and tenderness. CT scan of the abdomen showed large amount of air collection in the retroperitoneal space extending to the right scrotum with contrast media passing to the retroperitoneum and right scrotum. Laparotomy done and there was a perforation in the posterior wall of the duodenum, suturing done and right scrotal abscess drained.

Endoscopic Closure of Duodenal Perforation with the Over-the-scope-clipping System.

Project description:Endoscopic treatment for superficial non-ampullary duodenal tumors is technically difficult and challenging due to the anatomical characteristics of the duodenum. It is frequently complicated by procedural accidents, such as perforation. Surgical repair has long been the standard treatment for acute iatrogenic gastrointestinal perforation. However, endoscopic closure has recently emerged as an attractive alternative. In the patient presented herein, the over-the-scope-clipping system (OTSC system) was found to be useful for closing a duodenal perforation that had occurred during endoscopic submucosal dissection. For endoscopists who perform endoscopic treatment of the duodenum, endoscopic closure with the OTSC system is considered to be a technique that is necessary to master.

Congenital Duodenal Obstruction, Situs Inversus Totalis, and Gastric Perforation in a Neonate.

Project description:We report a rare case of incomplete congenital duodenal obstruction (Type 1 duodenal atresia) in association with situs inversus totalis presenting with gastric perforation in a neonate. The infantogram was suggestive of perforation with air under diaphragm along with dextrocardia. On exploration, a pin point perforation at fundus near lesser curvature along with situs inversus was noted. Primary closure of gastric perforation was done. Patient was then discharged on full breast feeds but was readmitted with intolerance to feeds and recurrent bilious vomiting. Further, upper GI contrast study revealed partial duodenal obstruction. On re-exploration, duodenal web with central aperture was seen and duodeno-duodenostomy was done.
