Perianal foreign bodies are a surgical challenge. The management of these patients requires a systematic approach which includes a careful history and examination, appropriate radiological investigations and surgical intervention. Here authors present a case of a five years old female with alleged history of fall over a bell with perianal and rectal injury.

In the urinary tract, foreign body is most commonly found in the urinary bladder. It is commonly self-inflicted but can rarely be introduced by other person. Various types of foreign bodies have been reported, which includes infusion set, aluminum rod, gold chain, pearl, fish, pencil etc. Here we report a case of a 28-year young man who gave the history of forceful introduction of a long wire of mobile charger into the bladder by another person. It could not be removed by himself and by the local doctors. Then he was referred to Enam Medical College & Hospital and subsequently was removed by suprapubic cystostomy.

AbstractForeign body ingestions often consist of benign objects that will readily pass through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract without necessitating further intervention. There are various reports in the literature about intentional ingestion of foreign bodies in prisoners and body packers, which required intervention. We present a case of 44-year-old male with a history of intentional ingestion of 30 gold pellets as a carrier from Dubai to India. The pellets were successfully retrieved by upper GI endoscopy after 1-week of observation and unsuccessful attempts of conservative trial. There have been many foreign body extractions but gold retrieval has been a rare case.

We present two cases of self-inflicted urethrovesical foreign body in children. Case 1 was a 6-year-old girl admitted with a history of self-introduction of a pin. The X-ray revealed the pin as 3.5 cm in length and in the bladder. The foreign body was removed endoscopically. Case 2 was a 13-year-old boy with a self-introduced packing needle, 13 cm in length, partially in the urethra. The end and the tip of the needle passed through the urethra to the surrounding tissues. Foreign body removed via a little skin incision with endoscopic guidance. Foreign bodies are rarely found in the lower urinary tract of children. Definitive treatment is usually the endoscopic removal; however, sometimes surgical intervention may require.

Accidental foreign body ingestion is a common problem encountered in Emergency. Deliberate foreign body ingestion may result due to an act of insanity or an act of daring. A shaman locally known as Dhami was brought to Emergency with the history of ingestion of bell clappers. He denied the history of psychiatric illness or substance abuse. On physical examination, there were signs of peritonitis. Laparotomy was done to remove the foreign bodies. Post-operative period was uneventful. Apart from the surgical intervention, psychological counselling was given to him. This is a rare interesting case due to the fact that the 15 cm long foreign bodies passing all the way through without significant injury and finally causing obstruction in ileocecal junction and perforation in the distal ileum.

Airway foreign bodies are a leading cause of death among children and require urgent recognition by medical personnel. While most cases are diagnosed readily from a clinical history of acute respiratory distress, some cases remain more indolent and present later. We report the case of a 7-year-old boy who aspirated a “LEGO” toy and presented with a week history of increasing respiratory distress compatible with known asthma. Despite a normal chest X-ray, a low-dose computed tomography showed the presence of a foreign body in the left main bronchus, which was subsequently removed by fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Our case serves to reemphasize the importance of considering airway foreign bodies as a cause of respiratory distress, especially in young children.

Infants And Young Children

As many as half of routine ill-patient visits in pediatrics practice involve respiratory symptoms. It is not surprising that we see so much coughing and wheezing when we consider that children are still developing immunologically and are, therefore, more susceptible to infection. In early life, most of these infectious diseases occur in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. In addition, the gradual exposure of the constitutionally allergic child to environmental allergens pre-disposes to the development of respiratory symptoms. Childhood is also a time for congenital defects of the cardiopulmonary system to become apparent. A sometimes overlooked cause of respiratory symptoms in infants and young children—and one that can become rapidly and severely complicated if misdiagnosed—is the aspiration of foreign bodies. Aspiration or ingestion of foreign bodies remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population. Children between 8 months and 4 years of age are at highest risk. Not all cases of aspiration are of the acute, obstructive variety, and pediatricians should consider a foreign body as a possible cause of coughing and wheezing even when no definite history of aspiration is obtained. Children of course are curious and their natural tendency is to reach out and explore new objects. Bringing objects to their mouths to taste and to test textures is common.

Two uncommon cases of foreign body (a wooden clothespin and a toothpick) perforation of the gut with associated pyogenic liver abscesses are presented. These cases illustrate the difficulties of preoperative diagnosis. The lack of history of ingestion of foreign bodies, variable clinical presentation of the conditions and radiolucent natures of the foreign bodies all play a role in impeding the diagnosis preoperatively. This report emphasizes the role of ultrasound and computed tomographic scan in evaluating similar cases. Any patient with known risk factors for ingestion of foreign body should arouse suspicion and be investigated further.

Abstract Background: The purpose of our study was to assess the frequency of occult foreign body aspiration (FBA) and to evaluate the diagnostic difficulties and therapeutic methods for these patients. Methods: Between May 2000 and May 2020, 3557 patients with the diagnosis of FBA were treated in our department. Thirty-five patients with occult FBA were included in this study. A retrospective analysis of medical records was performed. Results: Twenty-three male patients (65.7%) and 12 female patients (34.3%) were hospitalized due to occult FBA. The average age was 3.60 years (range 9 months-12 years). Most of the patients were younger than 3 years old (n=25, 71.4%). Coughing (n=35, 100%) and wheezing (n=18, 51.4%) were the main symptoms and signs. All the patients were found to have a FBA under the fiberoptic bronchoscope. The most common organic foreign bodies were peanuts (n=10) and the most common inorganic foreign bodies were pen caps (n=5). The extraction of foreign bodies under rigid bronchoscopy was applied successfully in 34 patients. Only one patient needed a surgical intervention. Conclusions: Occult FBA should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic or recurrent respiratory diseases that are poorly explained, even in the absence of a previous history of aspiration.

Introduction This is a very interesting case of retained homicidal foreign body in the nose in contrast to most of the foreign bodies which are accidental. Case Report A 27 year old male presented to ENT emergency with alleged history of assault over face with sharp object following which patient developed nasal bleed. On examination vertical laceration of approximately 8 cm in length was present along left naso-orbital groove extending superiorly from medial canthus of left eye and inferiorly to nasal alar cartilage. On anterior rhinoscopy a metallic foreign body was seen in both nasal cavities, which appeared to be crossing from left to right side piercing the nasal septum. Foreign body was removed via open approach. Discussion Penetrating maxillofacial injury with foreign body impaction are less common. High index of suspicion is required in diagnosing these cases. Radiological intervention should be done to get idea of exact location and extent of foreign body. Lateral rhinotomy is a useful approach in removing these foreign bodies.
