Objective Detection

Abstract Background and Objective: Detection of radiolucent soft-tissue foreign bodies is a challenging problem, which is especially further complicated when retained foreign body is highly suggested by clinicians but radiography is negative. So, blind exploration is sometimes hazardous for patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of ultrasonography (USG) in detecting radiolucent soft-tissue foreign bodies in the extremities. Materials and Methods: From November 2011 to January 2012, patients with clinically suspected radiolucent soft-tissue foreign body and negative radiography were evaluated by USG with a 12-MHz linear array transducer. The patients with positive clinical and USG examination were included in our study and underwent exploration or USG removal. Results: Fifty-one patients underwent foreign body removal under ultrasonography-guided or surgical exploration and 47 patients had foreign body (31, 12, 3, and 1 case had thorn, wood, glass, and plastic, respectively). Ultrasound was positive in 50 patients. USG falsely predicted the presence of foreign body in four cases and was falsely negative in one of the cases. Accuracy, sensitivity, and positive predictive value were determined as 90.2%, 97.9%, and 92%, respectively. Conclusions: The real-time high-frequency USG is a highly sensitive and accurate tool for detecting and removing radiolucent foreign bodies which are difficult to be visualized by routine radiography.

Therapeutic Problem

Introduction. A transorbital intracranial injury with a foreign body can be a very complex and controversial therapeutic problem. The orbit's content is susceptible to penetrating trauma, and neurovascular skull base structures are at high risk from injury. There are some traditional cranial surgical approaches, and more recently reported different endoscopic approaches for treating this kind of injury. Case report. We present a case of a 30-year-old male who had an accident at work when a piece of wood hit him in his head and entered through the medial aspect of his left orbit with skull base and cavernous sinus injury. Rapid and complete radiological and clinical assessments were performed, and the patient was treated in a minimally invasive manner. The foreign body was manually extracted with an endoscopic and endovascular team ready to treat adverse events. No postoperative complications were reported, and visual acuity increased at one month follow up. Conclusion. Penetrating wounds of the orbit represent a challenge that requires a multidisciplinary assessment and well-organized management. Combined endoscopic minimally invasive approaches should be considered during the treatment of this kind of injury.

Retained Foreign Body

Gossypiboma, an infrequent surgical complication, is a mass lesion due to a retained surgical sponge surrounded by foreign body reaction. In this case report, we describe gossypiboma in the abdominal cavity which was detected 14 months after the hysterectomy due to acute abdominal pain. Gossypiboma was diagnosed by computed tomography (CT). The CT findings were a rounded mass with a dense central part and an enhancing wall. In explorative laparotomy, small bowel loops were seen to be perforated due to inflammation of long standing gossypiboma. Jejunal resection with end-to-end anastomosis was performed. The patient was discharged whithout complication. This case was presented to point to retained foreign body (RFB) complications and we believed that the possibility of a retained foreign body should be considered in the differential diagnosis of who had previous surgery and complained of pain, infection, or palpable mass.
