Resumen La perforación del tracto gastrointestinal (GI) por ingesta de cuerpos extraños (huesos, palillos dentales, dentaduras, etc.) es poco prevalente, su diagnóstico es difícil y tardío principalmente debido a que los pacientes no suelen recordar la ingesta de los mismos. A nivel radiológico supone igualmente un reto, pues suelen ser objetos sutiles no visibles en radiografías, siendo la prueba de elección la TC. Ante una sospecha clínica o radiológica de perforación por cuerpo extraño, el tratamiento quirúrgico y antibiótico debe llevarse a cabo lo antes posible. Presentamos un caso clínico de una perforación intestinal secundaria a la ingesta de un palillo dental.
