Trans-abdominal penetration by foreign bodies causing bowel injury is uncommon. We present a case of injury to the caecum caused by deliberate trans-abdominal placement of hand sewing needles. The patient was managed successfully by urgent laparotomy with right hemicolectomy and primary anastomosis.

Carcinoid tumor is the most common neuroendocrine tumor affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The coexistence of multifocal carcinoid lesions is a well-established phenomenon. Although intubation of the terminal ileum is not routinely attempted during colonoscopy, it can occasionally reveal the presence of some incidental findings. We present a patient with known rectal carcinoid, who was found to have another carcinoid lesion in the terminal ileum during surveillance colonoscopy. The patient underwent right hemicolectomy, and no chemotherapy was required as the patient was found to have stage 1 carcinoid tumor.

Retained intraocular graphite foreign bodies are uncommon. Although they are generally inert, they have been reported to cause severe inflammatory reaction and progressive damage to intraocular structures. We report a case of a six-year-old girl with a retained intraocular graphite pencil lead foreign body in the anterior chamber of the eye and discuss the various considerations in the management of such cases.

Unusual Case Report

Dentists often find foreign bodies in the primary dentition of children who habitually place objects in their mouths. The objects are frequently embedded in exposures that result from carious or traumatic lesions or from endodontic procedures that have been left open for drainage. Such bodies are often detected on routine radiographs and, less frequently, during clinical examination. We report a case of a 6-year-old boy who had inadvertently embedded a screw in his mandibular right first primary molar and had forgotten about it until it became symptomatic. The screw was impacted in the exposed pulp chamber due to a large carious lesion in the affected molar. This case report considers the possible medical and dental consequences of placing foreign bodies in the mouth.

Encapsulation Ability

Unable to form cellular capsules around large foreign bodies, the species Drosophila subobscura Collin in Gordon, 1936 was previously shown devoid of lamellocytes, the capsule-forming hemocytes in Drosophila melanogaster Meigen, 1830. This unusual case of deficiency in encapsulation ability was remarkable enough to motivate further investigations in phylogenetically related species of the obscura group. Like D. subobscura, the species Drosophila azteca Sturtevant and Dobzhansky, 1936, Drosophila bifasciata Pomini, 1940, Drosophila guanche Monclus, 1976, Drosophila miranda Dobzhansky, 1935, Drosophila persimilis Dobzhansky and Epling, 1944, and Drosophila pseudoobcura Frovola and Astaurov, 1929 were found to be unable to encapsulate large foreign bodies and also to lack lamellocytes. Surprisingly, Drosophila affinis Sturtevant, 1916, Drosophila tolteca Patterson and Mainland, 1944, and Drosophila obscura Fallen, 1823 were capable of mounting cellular capsules, although their encapsulation abilities remained weak. These three species were free of lamellocytes but possessed small pools of never before described “atypical hemocytes” present in the hemolymph when capsules were formed.

Abstract- Nasal foreign bodies are usually received in otolaryngology practice. Although more frequently seen in pediatric patients, also they can affect adults, specifically those with mental retardation or any psychiatric problems. We presented an unusual case of the nasal foreign body, an eraser rhinolith in a 17-year-old boy with mild mental retardation presented with long-lasting nasal obstruction but no chronic infection or epistaxis. Computed tomography revealed a peripherally calcified sub-mucosal round mass in the left nasal cavity. After surgery, a round shape foreign body that looked like an eraser piece was removed from the nasal cavity. Rhinolith can present just with nasal obstruction. With properly diagnosed and appropriate surgery, all rhinoliths can be removed and complication of extraction can be minimized

High Index Of Suspicion

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.

AbstractIntra orbital foreign bodies are relatively uncommon and constitute 2.9% of ocular injuries. Pellet injury of orbit is also uncommon and constitutes 2.4% of orbital injuries We present an unusual case of bilateral orbital pellet injury where both the pellets were seen at identical positions in both orbits.

Health Care Practitioners

Diverse foreign bodies may become lodged in the aerodigestive tract, and the discovery of such foreign bodies is an expected scenario for health-care practitioners. The foreign body insertion may be accidental or deliberate, and the object may be organic or inorganic. Most accidental foreign body aspirations occur in children, and some such cases are potential threats that go unnoticed. Very few cases of foreign bodies in the nasopharynx have been reported. Herein, we describe an unusual case in which a foreign body in a child’s nasopharynx went unnoticed for 1 year and was detected intraoperatively.

Genetic Syndrome

Hemihyperplasia is a syndrome with overgrowth of limbs and associated with various genomic syndromes. Rarely patient presents with intestinal obstruction when it is associated with sub mucosal lipomas. Submucosal lipomas are common in colon. But whole of small and large bowel studded with them is very rare as in our case. It presents dilemma not only in diagnosis but in treatment also. Here we present a case of forty two years females with hemihyperplasia syndrome came to causality with recurrent intestinal obstruction. On CECT Abdomen diagnosis of intestinal obstruction due to intussusception was made. Whole of bowel is studded with submucosal lipomas. Patient was tried to manage conservatively but patient does not respond and Right Hemicolectomy was done of intussusception segment. Anastomosis leaked and on re-exploration end ileostomy was done. Obstruction due to Multiple Intestinal Lipomatosis (as a part of Genetic Syndrome) should be managed conservatively and if operative intervention is required avoid primary anastomosis.

AbstractAn unusual case of a retained airgun pellet in the ethmoid sinus is presented. The patient's only complaint was a severe neuralgic headache. Anatomical basis for this symptom, imaging and successful endoscopic removal of the foreign body are discussed. The philosophy for removal of innocuous foreign bodies, potential pitfalls in surgical management, and a review of the literature are included in the discussion.
