Spontaneous Passage

Swallowing of foreign body is a common problem in children. Although most foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal tract will pass spontaneously, passage of sharp and pointed object such as a long nail is unusual. We report a case of a 2-year old female who swallowed a 3-inch nail and passed the nail per rectum spontaneously without problems while preparations were being made for the removal of the nail. The rarity of this event makes it worthy of being reported.

Background: Foreign body ingestion and food bolus impaction is a common clinical scenario and can present as an endoscopic emergency. Though majority of them pass spontaneously 10-20% require endoscopic intervention. Flexible endoscopy is recommended as therapeutic measure with minimal complications. The aim of our study is to present 2 years’ experience in dealing with foreign bodies in the upper gastrointestinal tract.Methods: Cases of foreign body (FB) ingestion admitted to department of general surgery from January 2015 to December 2016 were evaluated. The patients were reviewed with details on age, sex, type of FB, its location in gastrointestinal tract, treatment and outcome.Results: A total of 23 cases were studied. Age range was 2-75 years. Males were predominant (60.87%). Coins were found most commonly (52.17%). Esophagus was the commonest site of FB lodgment (65.22%). Upper esophagus being the most common (39.13%). Upper gastrointestinal flexible endoscopy was useful in retrieving FB in all the 23 cases. There were no complications throughout the study period.Conclusions: Flexible endoscopy should be used as definitive treatment and endoscopic treatment is safe and effective.

Trichobezoars are among the rare foreign bodies of the gastrointestinal tract. They occur more often in girls who have a bad habit of biting and swallowing hair. Gradually in the stomach forms a hard-to-separate ball of hair, resembling a tumor. In our practice, we observed two. cases of trichobezoar gastrointestinal tract in girls 7 and 8 years.

Foreign body ingestion is a common presentation in clinical practice, seen predominantly in children. Most foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract without any additional morbidity. We present a case of gastric perforation secondary to the ingestion of a small plastic bag. We discuss the likely pathophysiological process underlying perforation secondary to plastic bag ingestion, which is most commonly associated with the concealment of narcotics.

Abstract: Migration of swallowed foreign bodies from the gastrointestinal tract is a rare phenomenon compared with the total number of ingestions. In the reported two cases, the serious septic condition indicated urgent surgical intervention. We found a piece of wire swallowed a few months earlier in the right lobe of the liver and the retroperitoneum in case one, and a piece of wire in the pericardium, which migrated from the stomach through the left lobe of the liver, in case two. Abscesses and phlegmonae were found in the retroperitoneum and then in the femoral region requiring a reoperation in case one, and in the liver and pericardium in case two. After the evacuation of abscesses, both patients made full recovery. Diagnostic difficulties and therapeutic challenges served the reasons to present these cases.
