Radiological Focal Enteritis as a Presentation of Accidental Fishbone Ingestion
Journal Title: Journal of Surgery Research and Practice - Year 2020, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Accidental Foreign body ingestion is not an uncommon medical problem. Of all foreign bodies ingested, Fishbones are the most common, yet most pass the alimentary tract unnoticed. Gastrointestinal complications, such as hollow viscus perforation may develop in less than 1% of cases. Diagnosis is usually challenging and depends on a combination of detailed history and physical examination, along with radiological findings. Two cases of non-radio-opaque fishbone ingestion with localized small bowel perforation presented radiologically as focal enteritis are reported here.
