Although foreign body ingestion is a common occurrence, perforation and penetration of the gastrointestinal tract is unusual and the development of a hepatic abscess is even more rare. The authors describe two cases of fish bone perforation of the gastrointestinal tract with hepatic perforation and abscess formation, from distinctive age groups and varying presentation, although both developed septic shock. The lack of history of ingestion of foreign bodies, non-specificity of both clinical presentation and complementary examinations all play a role in delaying the diagnosis and therefore in the prognosis itself.

Foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal tract in children is one of the most challenging clinical scenarios which pediatric surgeons and gastroenterologists face. Previously published materials demonstrate that 80% of foreign bodies pass spontaneously through the gastrointestinal digestive tract without any harm to the child’s health, while 20% require endoscopic and/or surgical intervention, since delay in treatment can cause serious life-threatening complications. The present review discusses prevalence of foreign body ingestion in children. It also describes in detail controversial aspects of current diagnostic and treatment modalities.

The novel coronavirus causes varied symptomatology and several complications, among them, stand out those of the gastrointestinal tract. In order to discuss gastrointestinal complications in SARS-COV-2 infected patients and their outcomes, we’ve developed an integrative literature review, using Pubmed and BVS databases. The following descriptors were used: covid-19, Sars-cov-2, gastrointestinal Tract, and Complications. The selected studies presented patients with covid-19 and gastrointestinal complications. The majority of the 13 articles included were case reports, in Europe, mostly men at the age of 60 or more. As for complications, ischemia, gastrointestinal bleeding, and pneumatosis, arterial narrowing and thrombosis stands out. In diagnoses, commonly exam was the reverse polymerase-transcriptase chain reaction; treatment varied between conservative and surgical resection. It’s evident the importance of good practice, early diagnosis and treatments, avoiding at its most the worsening of the condition. However, whereas is such a recent subject matter, further studies need to be made.

AbstractIngestion of a foreign body is a frequent diagnosis in the pediatric population. In a small percentage of cases, foreign bodies themselves are strong magnets, and swallowing of multiple magnetic bodies can lead to serious complications in the gastrointestinal tract. Two consecutive case reports of patients who swallowed two magnetic beads are presented. In both cases, the abdominal radiograph described two magnets in contact, one in the area of the left hypochondrium and one in the right hypogastrium. Attempts of endoscopic localization and removal were unsuccessful. Due to the failure of magnet progression, laparoscopic revision of the abdominal cavity was indicated in both patients on the 25th and 4th day after swallowing. Using the magnetic forces between the magnets and the laparoscopic instruments, the foreign bodies were localized in the appendix of the first patient and in the cecum of the other one. The magnets were extracted together with the removal of the appendix in both patients. This is one of the first articles describing the successful extraction of foreign magnetic bodies from the gastrointestinal tract via laparoscopic appendectomy.
