“…In addition, FB perforation of the GI tract may involve adjacent structures such as the kidneys, psoas muscle, and pericardium [2]. Gut perforation and right hydronephrosis due to ingested FBs such as toothpicks [2] and fish bones [3] have been reported, but to our knowledge there is no such case in the English literature after ingestion of a headscarf pin.…”

“…The reported incidence of FBs penetrating the GI wall is <1%, and most such objects are pointed or sharp, including toothpicks, sewing needles, straightened paperclips, bread bag clips, dental plates, and fish and chicken bones [1,2,3]. Accidental ingestion of FBs is a mishap encountered more commonly at the extremes of life, and the most common sites of perforation are the ileocecal and rectosigmoid regions [5].…”

“…If the FBs are sharp-pointed objects, including toothpicks, pins, fish and chicken bones, the risk of complication is higher. These objects may cause severe complications, internal injuries due to GI perforation and migration to the neighboring structures [2,3]. We report a patient who developed right hydronephrosis after ingesting a headscarf pin secondary to intra-abdominal fibrosis.…”

A majority of foreign objects ingested pass through the gastrointestinal tract without any complications. Sometimes, complications such as perforation and adhesions of the neighboring organs occur and surgical treatment becomes necessary. We report the case of a 22-year-old female who was admitted with right flank pain. Past medical history revealed that the patient had accidentally swallowed a headscarf pin 11 months earlier. A computed tomography scan confirmed the swallowed foreign body posterior to and around the ileocecal region. The headscarf pin, causing stenosis and proximal ureteral dilatation, was removed surgically. To the authors' knowledge there has been no previous report of such ureteral obstruction published in the English literature.

“…La sospecha prequirúrgica de perforación por cuerpo extraño se verifica en el 23 % de los casos. Otros diagnósticos diferenciales que pueden enmascarar el verdadero diagnóstico incluyen la enfermedad ulcerosa péptica, colecistitis aguda, ileitis, entre otros (9,10) .…”

“…4 Perforation of the colon, other than at the recto-sigmoid junction, is so rare that less than 10 cases have been reported in the English literature. 3,[5][6][7][8] The abdominal abscess in the present case was located in front of the ascending colon, so the perforation most likely occurred in the ascending colon. Clearly, perforation of the small intestine is a possibility, but foreign body perforations of the large intestine reportedly tend to present with a longer, more innocuous clinical picture than perforations of the jejunum or ileum.…”

Ingestion of a foreign body is not uncommon, but rarely results in perforation of the gastrointestinal tract. The most common sites of perforation are reportedly the narrowest parts of the bowel, and perforation of the right side of the colon is rare. We report herein the case of a 69-year-old man who presented with an 8-week history of right upper abdominal pain. Laboratory data revealed inflammation at the first hospital visit. Computed tomography revealed a hypodense lesion containing a hyperdense foreign body in the abdomen. Intra-abdominal abscess caused by foreign body perforation was diagnosed. After administering antibiotics for 2 weeks, surgery was performed. Symptoms had resulted from perforation of the ascending colon by a fish bone. Key words: Fish bone -Colon perforationA ccidental ingestion of a foreign body such as a fish or chicken bone is relatively common. In most cases, the ingested foreign body passes through the gastrointestinal tract uneventfully, and perforation of the bowel by the foreign body reportedly occurs in less than 1% of cases.1 The most common sites of perforation are reportedly the narrowest parts of the bowel, at either the ileocecal valve or recto-sigmoid junction, and perforation of the right side of the colon is rare. 2 We report an unusual case involving perforation of the ascending colon by a fish bone.
