Overview

Randomized trial shows intestinal perforation by a foreign body in a patient, indicating diagnostic challenges.

Key Points

  • This case report aims to highlight the occurrence and diagnostic difficulty of intestinal perforation caused by an ingested foreign body.
  • Case report of a 62-year-old male with acute RIF pain diagnosed via contrast-enhanced CT.
  • Emergency laparotomy performed after multidisciplinary discussion, followed by removal of the foreign body and defect repair.
  • Contrast-enhanced CT revealed a linear metallic density in the ileum with a contained perforation.
  • Full-thickness ileal perforation was observed intraoperatively, localized peritonitis present.
  • Recovery was straightforward and without complications.
