“…In addition, dates are also added to porridge or dessert. The date stone is prone to pierce the intestinal wall due to its sharp and elongated shape, and has also reported to lodge in the oesophagus (9) and duodenum (10). To our knowledge, however, this is the first report of 13cases of intestinal perforation caused by date stone ingestion.…”

Objective The aim of our manuscript is to study the incidence, diagnosis, and treatment of bowel perforation by foreign body ingestion. Summary of Background Data Bowel perforation, by foreign body ingestion, has been believed to be relatively rare, and most commonly caused by fish bones, chicken bones, and toothpicks. Our clinical experience,however, suggests such perforations may be more common than previously thought, and caused by various other objects as well. Methods Medical records of all patients diagnosed with foreign body-induced intestinal perforation, from the Department of General Surgery at Shanghai Tongji Hospital, from January 2000 to June 2015, were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among the 25 total patients, 4 ingested foreign bodies intentionally, while the other 21 cases were accidental.The foreign bodies were identified by plain X-ray film in 2 patients and by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in 11 patients, thus supporting the correct preoperative diagnosis (13 cases, 52%). The most common location of the perforation was the terminal ileum (n = 17).The offending objects were date stones (n=13), bones(n=7), and metallic objects (n=5). The most common treatment was removal ofthe foreign body and closure of the perforation with simple suture(n=22). Ten patients were treated laparoscopically. Conclusion Intestinal perforation by ingested foreign bodies

“…A history of foreign body ingestion, especially in children, mentally impaired and old patients, is important 5 . Common predisposing factors are previous gastric surgery, psychiatric illness, coeliac disease and metabolic disorders such as uraemia 6 . Rarely, bezoars can cause serious problems due to complications such as perforation 7 .…”

A male patient presented with seven days history of severe epigastric colicky pain and vomiting. The patient was anxious and dehydrated. Blood tests and ultrasound reports were unremarkable. . Upper Gastrointestinal (GI) Endoscopy revealed a strip of capsule impacted at pyloric ring which was removed endoscopically and the patient became symptom free.

“…While gastric bezoars are rare, and usually observed in female children with mental or emotional disorders [ 3 ], other parts of the GI tract may be affected. Recent significant advances in imaging technology have changed the approach and algorithm of management of many bezoar emergencies [ 4 ], but successful management is usually achieved by endoscopy and surgery. Here we present a rare case of lactobezoars and the role of endoscopy, laparoscopy and surgery in the management.…”

An unusual cause of gastric outlet obstruction during percutaneous endogastric feeding: a case report

et al. 2008

IntroductionThe differential diagnoses of acute abdomen in children include common and rare pathologies. Within this list, different types of bezoars causing gastrointestinal obstruction have been reported in the literature and different methods of management have been described. The aim of this article is to highlight a rare presentation of lactobezoars following prolonged percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy feeding and its successful surgical management.Case presentationA 16-year-old boy was admitted to a paediatric ward with abdominal distension and high output from his permanent gastrostomy feeding tube, with drainage of bilious fluids. The clinical, radiological and endoscopical examinations were suggestive of partial duodenal obstruction with multiple bezoars in the stomach and duodenum. Gastrojejunostomy was performed after the removal of 14 bezoars. The child had an uneventful postoperative course and was discharged on the sixth postoperative day in a stable condition.ConclusionLactobezoars should be included in the differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain in patients with percutaneous endogastric feeding. Endoscopy is important in making the diagnosis of this surgical condition of the upper gastrointestinal tract in a child.
