Yabancı cisimlerin yutulması, özellikle çocuklar, alkolikler, psikiyatrik hastalar ve yaşlılar arasında yaygın bir sorundur. Yuvarlak uçlu yabancı cisimler sıklıkla bir soruna neden olmazken sivri uçlu yabancı cisimler erken dönemde çıkarıl-madıkları takdirde intestinal duvara penetre olup komplikasyona neden olabilirler. Yutulan yabancı cisimlerin çoğun-luğu sorunsuz intestinal kanaldan geçerken sadece %1'den daha azı perforasyona neden olur. Bu yazıda, 73 yaşında kadın hastada yanlışlıkla yutulan kayısı çekirdeğine bağlı ince bağırsak tıkanıklığı ve delinmesi olgusunu sunduk.Anahtar Sözcükler: Kayısı çekirdeği; yabancı cisim; ince bağır-sak delinmesi.Ingestion of foreign bodies can be a common problem, especially among children, alcoholics, and psychiatric and senile patients. Foreign bodies with smooth edges usually do not pose significant problems, but a sharp foreign object that is not retrieved immediately may penetrate the wall and cause complications. Ingested foreign bodies usually pass the intestinal tract uneventfully, and perforation occurs in less than 1%. In this study, we report a case of small bowel obstruction with perforation in a 73-year-old female due to the accidental swallowing of an apricot pit.
