Ingested Foreign Bodies and Their Removal via Endoscopy from Duodenum and Colon in Patient with Situs Inversus Totalis
Journal Title: Türk Kolon ve Rektum Hastalıkları Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 27, Issue 4
Abstract
Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by a reversal or mirroring of the normal anatomic positions of the visceral organs. In this case, diagnosis and treatment of diseases is difficult due to the different position of the organs. With the more frequent clinical application of endoscopy methods today, there are also examples in the literature of SIT patients undergoing these procedures. Although the English literature includes case reports presenting the use of endoscopy in patients with SIT, none discuss the removal of foreign bodies in such patients. In this paper, we aim to present a case in which upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and colonoscopy were used to remove two sewing needles impacted at different locations in the digestive system of a patient with SIT.
