“…Foreign body (FB) ingestion is among the commonest emergencies in gastroenterology-endoscopy; this is often involuntary in adults and may be voluntary in psychiatric patients, drug abusers, and elderly and children.

“…1,2,4,[6][7][8][9][11][12][13] Complications are related to the type of FB and the site of impaction, including: ulceration, inflammation, perforation, peritonitis and abscess; obstruction and stenosis; migration through the intestinal wall; and chemical or electrical damage. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]9,10,12,13 Most of cases have conservative treatment; upper digestive endoscopy may be useful in the first 24 hours after ingestion, and laryngoscopy can avoid airway obstruction. 1,2,7,8,[10][11][12][13] Clinical diagnosis of unintentional FB ingestion constitutes a challenging task, 9 and tardive diagnosis can corroborate to deterioration of the general clinical condition; 4 hence, case studies aim to enhance the suspicion index of primary health care workers.…”

Foreign body ingestion is a frequent condition in emergency services all over the world. The ingestion is often involuntary in adults and voluntary in psychiatric patients, illicit drug or alcohol abusers, elderly people, and children. The predominant kind of involved foreign bodies usually differs among these particular groups of patients. The majority of objects pass spontaneously through the digestive tract; however, consequences with variable gravity may occur and further interventions, including surgery, can be needed. The main sites of impaction are the esophagus, stomach, angle of Treitz, and ileocecal valve. Herein is described a young female with a psychiatric disorder who has ingested multiple metallic objects of small and medium-size, and developed a perforation on the sigmoid. She was surgically managed with success and has been followed with psychiatrist support. Case studies enhance the knowledge about unsuspected conditions in practice.

Duodenal obstruction due to accidental swallowing of a dental prosthesis: a case report and review of the literature

Background Artificial dentures are the most common object ingested by elderly patients and account for 4–18% of all foreign body ingestions. Denture impaction in the small bowel is a rare phenomenon. Surgery of the duodenum is difficult, so endoscopy should be the first choice in these patients. There are very rare case reports on denture ingestion-induced duodenal obstruction or perforation, so the aim of this publication was to show a rare case of accidental ingestion of a dental prosthesis with duodenal obstruction and also perforation that could not be treated with endoscopic management and was managed with duodenal kocherization and gastrostomy. Case presentation A 47-year-old Iranian woman presented to our hospital with epigastric abdominal pain of 2 hours’ duration after the accidental ingestion of a dental prosthesis 2 days before admission. The patient had severe epigastric tenderness. Radiographic examination revealed nothing. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a swallowed lodged denture in the second to third parts of the duodenum, and the attempt to extract the denture failed. The patient underwent laparotomy and duodenal kocherization, pushing the denture to the stomach, and gastrostomy, and the denture was brought out without any complications. Conclusions Patients with old and worn dentures should have their prosthesis reconstructed and redesigned periodically in order to prevent denture ingestion and its complications. Early surgical intervention is recommended in patients with failed endoscopic extraction of foreign bodies and in those with duodenal perforation.
