In Reply.— We agree with Dr O'Connor's assertion that radiopaque foreign bodies seen on abdominal radiographs of children with pica are not necessarily leaded paint chips. However, we consider it reasonable to infer that essentially all of the densities noted in the lead-poisoned children whose records we reviewed were, in fact, leaded paint chips.1 For the great majority of lead-poisoned children in St. Louis, deteriorated leaded paint is found in their primary residence or in other residences the children frequent.

Though anorectal foreign body cases are rare, they have become increasingly frequent in recent years. Although entrapped foreign bodies are most often related to sexual behavior, they can also result from ingestion or sexual assault. The diagnosis may be made by rectal examination and metallic objects can be confirmed by plain abdominal radiographs. Transanal removal is only possible for very low-lying objects, while patients with high-lying foreign bodies usually require an operative intervention. An early decision of laparotomy should only be made after subjecting the patient to suitable investigations to determine exact location of the object, in order to avoid any inadvertent damage to the adjoining vasculature as well as anal incontinence. . We report the case of a young male who presented at surgery department of Shaheed Suhrawardy medical college hospital with severe rectal pain due to insertion of an apple into rectum by some eunuchs. It was successfully removed transanally under spinal anesthesia. Post operative period was uneventful and referred for psychiatric consultation.J Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll, June 2017, Vol.9(1); 35-37

Gastrointestinal Tissue

Two dogs that had ingested foreign bodies were presented with vomiting. The foreign bodies appeared as metal and dense on abdominal radiographs. Abdominal exploratory identified intestinal perforation in one case and gastrointestinal tissue trapped between the two foreign bodies adhered to each other in the second case. The foreign bodies were identified as magnets in one case and magnets and other metallic foreign bodies in the second case. Both dogs had excellent outcomes following surgical intervention. These cases demonstrate the danger of tissue entrapment between the foreign bodies as a result of the magnetic attraction between two objects. Dogs that are presented with a history of or are suspect for ingesting multiple magnets or a magnet and metal foreign bodies should be treated with surgical intervention because of the risk of gastrointestinal perforation as a result of magnetic attraction between the foreign bodies.

We present the case of a 20 year old female patient who presented following ingestion of multiple button magnets. She remained clinically well however serial abdominal radiographs demonstrated the magnets were not passing through the gastrointestinal tract and a CT was therefore performed for further assessment and to aid surgical planning. Artefact from the magnets made interpretation of the CT challenging. The use of a Metal Artefact Reduction (MAR) algorithm however enabled accurate localisation of the magnets thus guiding subsequent surgical intervention. Whilst MAR algorithms are usually used in the assessment of iatrogenic metallic devices (e.g., joint prostheses), this case demonstrates an example of their potential wider use.

Abdominal Radiographs

Radiologic diagnosis of colorectal foreign bodies is usually not very difficult, because inserted materials are often clearly visible on plain abdominal radiographs. However, when they are radiolucent, a plain abdominal radiograph has been reported to be useless. As radiolucent colorectal foreign bodies appear as radiolucent artificial contours or air-trapped materials in the pelvis, almost always the diagnosis itself can be made by careful evaluation of plain abdominal radiographs. We encountered a case of casting type of radiolucent colorectal foreign body formed from polyurethane foam. It presented us with unexpected radiologic findings and led to diagnostic difficulties.

Colorectal foreign bodies are infrequently encounteredand present a dilemma for management. The diagnosis may be confirmedby plain abdominal radiographs and rectal examination, butabdominal computerized tomography with 3-D reconstruction can be decisive in thefurther management and must be advised without reconsideration. Transanal removal is only possible for very low-lying objects, while patients with high-lying foreign bodiesusually require anoperative intervention. An early decision of laparotomy should only be madeafter subjecting the patient to suitable investigations to determineexactly the localization of the object, in order toavoid any inadvertent damage to the adjoining vasculatureas well as anal incontinence. We report the case of a youngadult male who presented in the emergency department with a Hand Held Bidet Shower inserted per rectum. Transanal removal was unsuccessful and Emergent laparotomy with colotomy and primary repair was necessary for safe removal of the same.

ABSTRACT Gorilla Glue contains methylene diphenyl diisocyanate that expands significantly and hardens once exposed to moisture. Case reports of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate glue ingestion in dogs document gastrointestinal foreign body formation and mechanical obstruction. Medical record queries from four veterinary hospitals identified 22 dogs with Gorilla Glue ingestion. Records were evaluated retrospectively to characterize clinical presentation, diagnostic findings, treatment, and patient outcome. Vomiting was the most common clinical sign (n = 11), with a median time from ingestion to presentation of 42 hr. Abnormal abdominal palpation (e.g., pain) was the most reported examination finding (n = 13). Radiographs were performed in 18/22 dogs, with Gorilla Glue expansion described as granular or mottled soft tissue with gas in the stomach. In 73% (11/15) of dogs requiring surgery, history, clinical findings, and survey abdominal radiographs sufficed to proceed with celiotomy. Surgical removal of the Gorilla Glue foreign body was performed via gastrotomy (n = 14) or gastrotomy and duodenotomy (n = 1). Endoscopic removal was performed in one dog. One dog with suspected mechanical obstruction was euthanized owing to financial constraints. Remaining cases were managed conservatively (n = 5). Short-term prognosis following appropriate fluid therapy and surgical or endoscopic removal was very good.

Bullet Injury

All manner of foreign bodies have been extracted from the bladder. Introduction into the bladder may be through self-insertion, iatrogenic means or migration from adjacent organs. Extraction should be tailored according to the nature of the foreign body and should minimise bladder and urethral trauma. We report a case of a bullet injury to the bladder, which finally presented as a gross hematuria after remaining asymptomatic for four years. We present here an alternative to suprapubic cystostomy with a large bladder foreign body treated via a combined transurethral unroofing followed by removal using a grasper passed through a suprapubic laparoscopic port.
