“…Accordingly, in most cases, the status of a preoperative history of foreign body ingestion is unknown, as we encountered in our case. In addition, the object we removed, in this case, was easily coilable, and the patient had no trauma history or scars on her abdomen, which makes penetration of the abdominal wall from outside unlikely [ 8 ].…”

“…Due to the fact that oral contrast during CT can make it more difficult to detect a radiopaque foreign body and has a potential aspiration risk, its usage to diagnose a foreign body is contentious. In addition, ultrasonography has also the capacity to identify radiolucent foreign bodies and detect associated abscesses due to perforation [ 2 , 5 , 8 , [11] , [12] , [13] ].…”

Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a common clinical condition that can be caused by a variety of reasons. Bleeding can occur anywhere in the GI tract, and it usually presents as vomiting of blood, melena or black stools. We herein present a case of a 48-year-old man who was ultimately diagnosed with perforation of the lower ileum, pseudoaneurysm of the right common iliac artery, lower ileum-right common iliac artery fistula, and pelvic abscess caused by accidental ingestion of a toothpick. This case suggests that accidental ingestion of a toothpick may also be the cause of GI bleeding in some patients. For patients with unexplained GI bleeding, especially those with small bowel bleeding, a rational and combined use of gastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy, unenhanced and contrast-enhanced abdominal CT can help detect the causes of GI bleeding and improve diagnostic accuracy.

A 67-year-old man presented with a 2-month history of pain in his right buttock and lower limb. MRI depicted right L5/S1 lateral recess stenosis requiring surgical treatment; however, preoperative CT showed an approximately 7 cm long, thin, rod-shaped structure in the rectum, which was ultimately determined to be an accidentally ingested toothpick. It was removed surgically 6 days after diagnosis, because right leg pain worsened rapidly. The pain disappeared thereafter, and the symptoms have not recurred since. The pain might have been localised to the right buttock and posterior thigh in the early stages because the fine tip of the toothpick was positioned to the right of the anterior ramus of the S2 spinal nerve. Although sacral plexus disorder caused by a rectal foreign body is extremely rare, physicians should be mindful to avoid misdiagnosis.
