Duodenal Perforation by an Ingested Nail
Duodenal Perforation by an Ingested Nail
Foreign
body ingestion is a rare gastrointestinal entity in adults. Foreign bodies
generally do not cause any complications and pass through the gastrointestinal
tract spontaneously within a week. 10%-20% of them need endoscopic management,
and about 1% of them require surgery. In adults, foreign body ingestion can
also occur, especially in people with intellectual disabilities, alcoholics,
and in those without teeth, but it also can result from accidental swallowing.
We present a case of foreign bodies ingestion by a mentally retarded patient
with perforation of duodenum.
