Abstract Few articles have reported cases of perianal abscess due to ingested foreign bodies. Herein, we report a case of perianal abscess due to a long fish bone. A 72-year-old man who was toothless and wore a denture had a chief complaint of anal pain. His left-side buttock had swelling and redness. Computed tomography revealed a perianal abscess on his left-side buttock and high-intensity linear structure in the abscess cavity. We made a diagnosis of perianal abscess due to a fish bone and performed an emergency operation. We opened the abscess cavity and removed the 5 cm fish bone from the cavity. After drainage of the abscess cavity and antibiotic administration, he was discharged from our hospital on day 8. A long fish bone could cause perianal abscesses. Rapid diagnosis and ensuring fish bone removal are important to prevent sepsis.

Ingested foreign bodies usually pass uneventfully through the gastrointestinal tract but few of them can cause symptoms. They can get stuck at acute angulations or narrow part of intestine and can perforate leading to localized to generalized peritonitis, collection or abscess formation. We describe a case of 59 year old gentleman who presented with pain in right iliac fossa with fever and a hard, tender lump. Initial investigation revealed a mass in right iliac fossa adherent to anterior abdominal was in right iliac fossa region with a foreign body inside. Patient was managed with exploratory laparotomy, removal of a fish bone from cacecum and limited right hemicolectomy. Fishbone perforation of caecum is a rare entity. Careful corroboration between patient’s presentation and radiological findings with a high index of suspicion is needed for pre-operative diagnosis.

ABSTRACT Many cases have been reported in the literature about foreign bodies lodged in the hypopharynx. A foreign body penetrating the esophagus and migrating into the soft tissue of neck is a rare phenomenon. We report a case of 35 years male who ingested a fish bone which then migrated into left lobe of thyroid and the role of imaging in its detection and management. How to cite this article Kotecha JK.

The Common

Introduction. Foreign body stuck in the throat is a common emergency case, which can be removed by the endoscopic treatment. Fish bones are one of the common observed foreign bodies in the pharynx or cervical esophagus. Fish bones have a risk of damaging the mucosa when lodged in the upper digestive tract. Foreign bodies of fish bones located outside the laryngopharyngeal tissue are relatively unusual, and it is even more rare that they remain in the thyroid. It may cause local infection, abscess formation, large blood vessels rupture, and other serious life-threatening complications when the position of the fish bone migrates to the neck. We present a unique case of a 31-year-old woman in whom a fish bone was found in the thyroid. The fish bone had been removed successfully two months after the onset of symptoms. The relevant literature is reviewed and summarized.Case Presentation. A foreign body which is located in the neck area by swallowing is usually found in the emergency case. One of the commonest foreign bodies is the fish bone. The common presenting symptoms include foreign body (FB) sensation and or a sharp pain during swallowing. But we report a rare case in which a migratory fish bone stuck in the thyroid gland was found after 3 months. We retrieved previous literature and made a summary.Conclusions. Fish bones are not easy to be found as a foreign body. Surgeons should be aware that fish bones can become lodged in the thyroid gland. Combined with the history should be a wary fish bone to migrate to the case of the thyroid, to avoid misdiagnosis. To confirm the diagnosis, we can take ultrasound, computerized tomographic scanning (CT), and other tests.

Abstract Background: Bronchial foreign bodies are relatively uncommon in adults. There are a variety of symptoms induced by airway foreign bodies, although the typical symptoms of some bronchial foreign bodies are cough, wheezing, chest pain, hemoptysis and fever up. Case presentation: An 80-year-old Japanese man was referred to our hospital with symptom of 7-month history of cough and pneumonia. His chest radiograph showed a slight increase in opacity. His vital signs and his laboratory data were almost normal. Chest computed tomography revealed obstructive pneumonia and a bronchial foreign body. We performed bronchoscopy and detected a fish bone as an intrabronchial foreign body and finally removed it from the bronchi.Conclusions:It is very important to carefully perform medical consultation about the current and past medical history. People in some countries and regions such as Japan have a habit of eating fish. It is necessary to more carefully consider the possibility of some bronchial foreign body such as a fish bone, when we observe symptoms of persistent cough.

Abstract Stomach foreign bodies take second place after foreign bodies of the esophagus and can be both harmless as well as life-threatening. The shape, size, and time of the swallowed foreign body to get deposited in the specific location determine the type of treatment. The article presents a clinical observation – the stomach wall perforation of fish bones, principles of examination of the patient, computed tomography data and surgical treatment. Keywords: stomach, foreign body, perforation, computed tomography, treatment.

Resumen Los cuadros de abdomen agudo como consecuencia de la presencia de cuerpos extraños pueden tener diversas manifestaciones clínicas, la mayoría inespecíficas, por lo que las pruebas de imagen, sobretodo la tomografía computarizada (TC), cobran un papel fundamental en su diagnóstico. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con sospecha clínica inicial de apendicitis aguda, donde gracias al estudio radiológico se detecta la presencia de una espina de pescado en un asa de íleon distal, consiguiendo realizar un diagnóstico temprano y evitar así las complicaciones derivadas de una eventual perforación intestinal.

Ingestion of foreign bodies is a common problem seen at emergency rooms and frequently involves chicken and fish bones. There are few cases of migrated foreign bodies through the retropharynx causing infectious process in the area but no one, despite the proximity, causing spondylodiscitis. Perhaps such condition is attributed to the integrity of the longus colli fascia covering and protecting the cervical spine. We described the first case of spondylodiscitis due to a foreign body (saw-toothed fish bone) that penetrated the longus colli fascia and carved into vertebral body C3.
