“…Few cases of migrating foreign body into the common carotid artery and internal jugular vein from the orodigestive tract had been reported in literature [2][3][4]. In such cases high degree of suspicion and imaging of the neck were key points in the diagnosis and surgical removal.…”

Penetrating trauma to neck resulting in arteriovenous (AV) fistula and aneurysms involving the carotid system are uncommon injuries with life-threatening consequences. We report here a case of a young factory worker who developed a traumatic AV fistula with false aneurysm, with however, no other complications. He was successfully operated when he presented to us two months after the injury and is doing well in follow-up.

Zusammenfassung. Grundlagen: Im Abdomen zurückgelassene Fremdkörper stellen auch in der modernen Chirurgie eine seltene, aber unangenehme postoperative Komplikation dar. In etwa zwei Drittel der Fälle handelt es sich um Tupfer.Methodik: In dieser Kasuistik berichten wir über einen 10jährigen Patienten, welcher 4 Jahre nach Appendektomie wegen eines in das Ileum penetrierten Tupfers laparotomiert werden musste. Die radiologischen und intraoperativen Befunde sowie die rezente Literatur zum Thema werden dargestellt und diskutiert.Ergebnisse: Bei der Laparotomie fand sich ein 30 cm großer Tupfer im ileozökalen Übergang, der zu 25 cm im Ileum und zu 5 cm im Zökum zu liegen kam und somit vollständig in das Darmlumen migriert war. Der Tupfer wurde über eine longitudinale Ileotomie entfernt und die Fisteln wurden übernäht.Schlussfolgerungen: Diese Kasuistik zeigt die Wichtigkeit der Abzählung der Tupfer vor Durchführung des Bauchverschlusses auf.Schlüsselwörter: Tupfermigration, Komplikation, Laparotomie.Summary. Background: Retained foreign bodies after surgery constitute an occasional misadventure in modern surgery and cause returns to the operating room. Approximately, two-thirds of retained objects are sponges. Methods:We report on a 10-year-old boy presenting with a retained surgical sponge that had migrated completely into the lumen of the ileum. Removal was performed by laparotomy and ileotomy. Radiological and intraoperative findings are discussed, and a review of the recent relevant literature is provided.Results: Laparotomy revealed an intraluminal 30 cm long lap sponge (25 cm in the ileum and 5 cm in the cecum) which had completely migrated into the interior of the intestine. Complications, i.e., adhesion bands and fistulae, were treated subsequently.Conclusions: The case highlights the importance of a careful count of sponges before and after surgery and thorough exploration of all quadrants of the abdomen at the termination of surgical cases.
