Introduction. Ingestion of foreign body is one of the most complex and serious emergency conditions to diagnose. Accidental ingestion is more frequent in children than in adults, whereas intentional ingestion is usually found in cases of mental disorders, prisoners, attempted suicides, and in persons with intellectual disabilities. Case report. Glass ingestion is very rare and it is very difficult to predict the consequences of its passing through the gastrointestinal tract. We report a case of accidental swallowing of a large quantity of glass pieces in the ascending colon and rectum diagnosed by abdominal X-ray. The patient did not have any signs of perforation. An expectant attitude was taken, and the elimination occurred naturally.

Abstract Background Foreign body ingestion is a scenario occasionally encountered in the emergency room. Pediatric and psychiatric patients are the two most common populations suffering from accidental or in some cases intentional ingestion of foreign bodies. Commonly, majority of cases require no specific treatment and the swallowed objects pass through the digestive tract spontaneously without causing any significant complications. Less than 1% of the cases complicates with gastrointestinal tract perforation, which are often caused by sharp objects, which warrants surgical intervention. The average time from foreign body ingestion to development of perforation was noted at 10.4 days in previous reports. These cases often present in rapidly progressing peritonitis and are subsequently managed by emergent laparotomy. In this case report, we describe an accidental chopstick ingestion of a patient who initially was misdiagnosed and remained asymptomatic for nine months, then presented with acute abdomen. Case presentation A 27-year-old man accidentally ingested a wooden chopstick and sought consult at a clinic. Negative abdominal plain film misled the physician to believe ingested chopstick was digested into fragments and passed out unnoticed. The patient presented acute abdomen caused by duodenal perforation nine months later and was subsequently treated with emergency laparotomy with primary duodenorrhaphy. Conclusions Negative plain films are not sufficient to conclude a conservative treatment in foreign body ingestion. Computed tomography scan or endoscopic examinations should be done to rule out retained foreign body within gastrointestinal tract.

Body Case

— There are several reports of intravesical foreign bodies, but those due to migration from adjacent organs or tissues are unusual. We report a case of an intravesical acetabular prosthesis in an 81-year-old woman, who 24 years before had a total left hip replacement for severe coxarthrosis, with subseguent removal of the femoral head 3 years later due to rejection. Our case is unusual for the long latency, lack of severe complications and absence in literature of reports of acetabular prosthesis as an intravesical foreign body.

Fatal Complications

Although anterior cervical arthrodesis is an effective procedure for the treatment of cervical disorders, the method has some complications. Here, we describe this rare complication of cervical instrumentation with a literature review. A 23-year-old male patient was operated for a C6-C7 dislocation. At postoperative month 10, he presented with hemoptysis and dysphagia. Cervical roentgenograms showed anterior migrations of one broken screw and a plate-locking screw at the C6 corpus. One screw was missing. We concluded that the missing screw had perforated the esophagus and had been eliminated spontaneously through the gastrointestinal tract. No screw should migrate. Even loose screws should be noted in follow-up X-ray studies. If such findings are detected, a second operation for revision should be considered as soon as possible to prevent potentially fatal complications.
