Ingestion of foreign bodies is common in clinical practice. Most ingested foreign bodies will pass through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract without any problems. While GI tract injury due to the ingested foreign body such as a toothpick, a fishbone, a date pit, or a chicken bone, is common, duodenal perforation is rare. In this report, our experience with this rare entity is shared. We present a 38-year-old male patient with GI tract perforation in the bulbus of the duodenum due to a leg of glasses. The patient was admitted to our hospital with severe abdominal pain. Right upper quadrant tenderness was detected at physical examination, and leukocytosis on the laboratory test results. Plain X-ray and computerized tomography showed an ingested foreign body in the bulbus of the duodenum. A leg of glasses perforating the duodenum was removed with endoscopy. The patient was managed nonoperatively, and discharged without any complications on the eighth day after endoscopy. Endoscopic removal and nonoperative management may be feasible in carefully selected patients with duodenal-perforating foreign bodies.

Gastrointestinal Neoplasm

Most foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract uneventful. We report of a case of inadvertently ingested foreign body, which by endoscopy simulated a polyp and on biopsy reported as cancer, so the patient underwent an unnecessary major operation. This report emphasizes the importance of resemblance of foreign bodies with gastrointestinal neoplasm, and endoscopists, surgeons and pathologists should consider this entity in their daily practice.

AbstractForeign body ingestions often consist of benign objects that will readily pass through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract without necessitating further intervention. There are various reports in the literature about intentional ingestion of foreign bodies in prisoners and body packers, which required intervention. We present a case of 44-year-old male with a history of intentional ingestion of 30 gold pellets as a carrier from Dubai to India. The pellets were successfully retrieved by upper GI endoscopy after 1-week of observation and unsuccessful attempts of conservative trial. There have been many foreign body extractions but gold retrieval has been a rare case.

 The pica phenomenon is common in patients with behavioral and developmental disorders, particularly autism. Most ingested foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal system spontaneously and without complication. Small bowel obstruction is an uncommon complication of ingested foreign body. Herein, we present the case of an autistic child who was operated for peritonitis due to an unusual foreign body.

Background and Objectives: When children accidentally ingest foreign bodies, they may be unable to communicate adequately; it is often difficult to identify the causative foreign body unless someone is watching over them. In such instances, to identify the causative foreign body during clinical practice, we aimed to determine if it varies according to age. Materials and Methods: From April 2013 to June 2018, 252 records of pediatric patients with a confirmed diagnosis of foreign-body ingestion were retrospectively examined in a Japanese university hospital. Comparisons among multiple age groups, according to type of ingested foreign body, were analyzed using Kruskal‒Wallis tests. The differences between the individual data were tested using the Steel‒Dwass test. Results: The median age of the patients was 15 months, and of the total patients, 140 were boys (55.5%). The types of foreign bodies ingested were as follows, in order of frequency: cigarettes (n = 44, 17%, median age: 12 months), plastics (n = 43, 17%, median age: 11 months), chemicals (n = 27, 11%, median age: 13 months), internal medicines (n = 26, 10%, median age: 33 months), and metals (n = 26, 10%, median age: 35 months). The median age was significantly different among the types of causative foreign bodies (p < 0.01). The patient age for the ingestion of cigarettes was significantly younger than that for ingesting metals or coins. The age for ingesting internal medicines was significantly older than that for ingesting plastics, cigarettes, paper, or chemicals (p < 0.01). Conclusions: The causative foreign body ingested differed according to age. This will be valuable information for physicians that encounter pediatric patients who may have ingested an unknown foreign body in Japanese pediatric emergency or general practice settings.

Introduction. Foreign body ingestion is a common problem in large-volume endoscopic departments. Several techniques and devices have been described for the safe endoscopic removal of these objects. However, these devices may not be suitable in every clinical setting or—as in our case—they may not even be available. Case Presentation. We report the case of a 34-year-old patient, presenting with sharp foreign body ingestion. The foreign bodies were safely removed using a handmade protective hood due to lack of a commercial device. In our case, improvisation proved to be of great benefit for the patient as well as for the endoscopist. Discussion. Improvised interventions can be of special interest in the setting of insufficiently funded or equipped endoscopic departments.

Prolonged Duration

The well-known tendency for children to place loose objects in their months not infrequently leads to the entrapment of foreign bodies in the aerodigestive tract. With prompt and adequate removal few complications occur. However, when the foreign body goes undetected or is neglected the patient may develop dysphagia, pneumonia, failure to thrive, lung or mediastinal abscesses, bronchopulmonary or bronchoesophageal fistulas, or erosion of major vessels. Fifteen cases of retained foreign bodies were identified in a chart review between 1971 and 1977 at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, calling attention to the problems of aerodigestive foreign bodies of prolonged duration. Early and late complications are discussed and early diagnosis and endoscopic removal emphasized.

Bolus Impaction

Foreign-body ingestion and food bolus impaction are common causes of esophageal obstruction, with an annual incidence of 13 cases per 100,000, and represent approximately 4% of all emergency endoscopies. Although the majority of foreign bodies that travel to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract will pass spontaneously, 10 to 20% must be removed endoscopically, and 1 to 5% will require surgery. Key diagnostic and therapeutic decisions are based on common factors, including the type of ingested object, number of objects, timing between ingestion and presentation, anatomic location of the object, and presence or absence of symptoms. Complications relating to foreign-body ingestion are typically uncommon; however, the associated morbidity may be severe and occasionally life threatening, and despite the fact that overall mortality has been extremely low, it has been estimated that up to 1,500 deaths occur annually in the United States as a result of foreign-body ingestion. The initial and follow-up management strategies are crucial to preventing morbidity. This review details the epidemiology, etiology and pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, and complications of foreign-body ingestion. Figures show examples of foreign bodies in the esophagus and stomach, three esophageal areas where a foreign body is likely to be impacted, examples of a meat bolus in the esophagus, radiograph of a patient who swallowed one nail and three batteries, and examples of linear erosions of the esophagus and stomach. Tables list the most common GI pathology predisposing individuals to esophageal foreign-body impaction, timing and management of food bolus impaction and foreign-body ingestion, endoscopic management strategies for food bolus impaction and ingested foreign bodies, and radiographic and surgical management strategies for monitoring progress of foreign-body passage through the GI tract. This review contains 5 highly rendered figures, 4 tables, and 78 references.

ABSTRACT Ingested foreign body is one of the most frequently encountered emergencies in otolaryngology practice. Many of these foreign bodies get lodged in the upper digestive tract and can be removed endoscopically. Few of these foreign bodies can perforate the upper digestive tract and an even smaller number of these can migrate extraluminally. Although, a migrating foreign body can remain quiescent, they can cause life-threatening suppurative or vascular complications; hence, location and removal is essential. Here we report two cases of extraluminal migration of foreign body which was removed by neck exploration. How to cite this article Divya GM, Hameed AS, Ramachandran K, Vinayak KV.
