Introduction: Colonic perforation by ingestion of foreign bodies as fishbones is extremely rare. It represents a challenging emergency: the management should be quickly established to limit its morbidity. Case report: We report a case of left colonic perforation due to a fishbone. Our patient who ingested fishbone also had colonic diverticulosis. Non-surgical management was performed. The evolution was favorable and our patient recovered. Discussion: Fishbone ingestion could be related to many complications including bowel perforation. Clinical findings are various. Paraclinical examinations can be challenging due to the limits of each one (X-rays, US, and CT scans). Nonsurgical management should be considered in many cases, and surgical treatment may be delayed. The final management is still controversial. Surgical and non-surgical techniques are both described in the literature.
Introduction: Incomplete common mesentery is the result of a rotational abnormality of the digestive tract. It is characterized by the persistence of an anatomical arrangement. Secondary to a rotational anomaly of the omphalo-mesenteric duct, thus constituting a meso common to the entire intestinal duct and an extremely short root of the mesenterium .These abnormalities of intestinal rotationcan lead to dreadful and sometimes fatal complications. The diagnosis of small bowel volvulus can be made in a wide variety of circumstances: acute intestinal occlusion, or even in shock. Repeated abdominal pain that can be associated with transit disorders. Case report: we report the observation of a 63 year old patient admitted for small bowel volvulus onincomplete common mesentery in whom the postoperative evolution wasfavourable. Conclusion: small bowel volvulus on incomplete common mesentery has a non-specific symptomatology; CT scan with contrast injection can confirm the diagnosis. Early intervention can be the one solution to treat this pathology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
