Needle as foreign body in urethra: Successful removal

: Self-inserted foreign bodies in the lower urinary tract are rare among children. The treatment of foreign bodies in the urethra is determined by their type, size, location, shape, and mobility. : We describe here a 10-year-old boy who had self inserted a needle into his urethra. Initial attempts to remove the needle from the urethra by inserting a cystoscope failed. The patient presented to our institution with bleeding per urethra with feeding tube insitu per urethra. As already attempted for urethroscopic removal, direct removal of needle done under general aneathesia done.: Per Rectal examination plays an important role and gives adequate information and timely management of the child leads to uneventful hospital stay Psychiatric evaluation is mandatory to detect an underlying mental disorder.

Self-insertion of foreign body in lower urinary tract is rare in children. It is commonly seen in adults. The reason for self-insertion may be accidental, due to psychiatric illness, curiosity, sexual stimulation or therapeutic in cases of stricture. Most of the cases reported are in adults. Here we present a 12-year-old child presenting with self-insertion of metallic hair pin into the lower urinary tract with symptoms of dysuria and retention of urine. X-ray and ultrasonography were diagnostic modalities which aided in the diagnosis. The child underwent successful cystoscopic removal of foreign body after thorough investigation. Post removal child underwent psychiatric evaluation. He was not suffering from any psychiatric condition. He admitted having inserted the hair pin out of curiosity. Child was passing urine in good stream at time of discharge. At six months follow up child remains asymptomatic.

Lower Urinary

There are multiple reports of foreign bodies inserted into the lower urinary tract. We report the case of an incidentally discovered foreign body identified within the bladder in a male patient presenting with a radio antenna protruding from the urethra attached to a head set. On workup patient was found to have an additional foreign body within the bladder and second radiolucent object within the urethra. This case demonstrates the importance of complete evaluation of the lower urinary tract during workup of inserted foreign bodies and the value of the bedside ultrasound as a diagnostic tool in distinguishing between rectal and genitourinary tract insertion.

A foreign body cystitis in a 1.5-year-old male guinea pig with treatment-resistant stranguria and haematuria was diagnosed by ultrasonographic examination. A sedge leaf (Carex species) was identified as the causing agent by sequencing of nuclear ribosomal DNA (ITS1) and a chloroplast marker (trnL-trnF) from the leaf obtained on postmortem examination. The eventual mechanism of migration of the plant leaf into the bladder was investigated. A concomitant fungal lower urinary tract infection with Candida albicans was diagnosed by cultural means and DNA sequencing. Firm granules composed of inflammatory secretions blocked the urethra and interfered with diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. To the authors’ knowledge this is the first report of foreign body cystitis in a small rodent, which should be on the differential list of therapy-resistant lower urinary tract disease in guinea pigs.
