Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
While foreign body ingestion occurs most often in children, adult ingestion has been reported. Complete clinical monitoring in suspected cases may be the actual treatment sometimes. In case of complications or if there is confirmation of foreign body, endoscopic removal or surgical removal can be indicated. We present a case of a 21-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with deliberate ingestion of Crushed Glass pieces of alcohol bottle followed with burning sensation over the chest and upper abdominal pain. The patient was admitted and necessary investigations taken. The abdominal x ray revealed specks of crushed glass pieces being coated over large bowel. Psychiatrist consultation obtained for a possible psychiatric illness. The patient was under observation for 5 days and was treated conservatively. No active internal bleed was observed. This is a case report of a patient with deliberate ingestion of crushed glass indicating the signs and symptoms and different types of management for Glass ingestion.
