“…Fish bone [ 12 , 14 – 16 , 18 , 20 , 23 ] was the most common FB, followed by toothpicks [ 13 , 19 , 21 , 24 , 27 , 29 ]. Other uncommon types of FB included needles [ 17 , 25 ], blister packs [ 8 ], and wooden skewers [ 28 ]. Psychiatric patients ingested a wide variety of FBs (batteries, coins, buttons, pen nibs) [ 26 ].…”

“…Among the data we collected, more than half of the patients had abdominal pain [ 12 , 13 , 15 – 22 , 24 , 27 , 29 ] as the main complaint, followed by fever [ 16 , 20 , 21 , 23 , 24 , 26 , 29 ] secondary to abscess. A few patients presented with melena [ 14 ], nausea [ 17 , 22 ], vomiting [ 22 ], diarrhea [ 25 ], and even non-gastrointestinal symptoms in some cases (backache [ 8 ], right iliac fossa pain [ 28 ]).…”

Background: The induction of chronic inflammation, perforation, and abscess by foreign bodies (FBs) in adults is uncommon. We present a delayed diagnosis case for a patient who had a fishbone stuck in the duodenal bulb, resulting in chronic abdominal pain for nearly 3 months. We present the diagnosis and treatment procedures for chronic patients, which differ from those for acute and emergency FB ingestion, and also summarize the characteristics of such patients through a systematic literature review. Case presentation: A 68-year-old woman was brought to our hospital with repeated right upper abdominal pain lasting for 3 months and aggravation for 9 h. Computed tomography (CT) showed a streaky high-density shadow (approximately 3 cm in length) on the posterior wall of the gastric antrum extending outside the wall. Endoscopic ultrasonography showed hyperechoic space with a cross-section of approximately 0.1 × 0.1 cm in the deep submucosal layer of the local stomach, accompanied by an acoustic shadow in the rear. The possibility of a fishbone as well as perforation was considered and the object was removed using FB forceps. Fasting as well as acid inhibition and anti-infection medication were prescribed for the patient. She eventually recovered and was discharged from the hospital. Conclusion: Endoscopic intervention can be recommended as the first option for patients with gastrointestinal FBs.

“…In these cases the patient’s presented within a couple of weeks of the onset of symptoms, however it is difficult to determine the amount of time between ingestion and abscess formation. In these cases the abscess can first be drained percutaneously or treated with antibiotics followed by removal of the foreign body [ 2 , 6 , [11] , [12] , [13] ]. One case report describes a ruptured abscess requiring laparotomy with peritoneal lavage [ 14 ].…”

“…Twelve patients were female and 10 were men; 11 were under the age of 18 years and 12 were over 18 years of age. From a diagnostic perspective, 6 patients went to the hospital after swallowing needle without acute abdomen, 2 patients were diagnosed with liver abscess, [8,19] and needle in the livers of 9 patients were diagnosed as incidental. Four patients were examined for acute abdomen, and FB in the liver was observed.…”

An intrahepatic foreign body (FB) is rarely observed. In most cases, object passes from the gastrointestinal tract to the liver via migration. Uncomplicated intrahepatic FB can be followed without surgical intervention; however, complicated intrahepatic FB requires laparoscopy or laparotomy. Presently described is laparoscopic operation on 22-year-old female patient who had incidental sewing needle in the right liver lobe. As there were initially no complications, follow-up monitoring was recommended. However, the patient subsequently complained of stomach pain and developed fever. Laparoscopic exploration located sewing needle in the right liver lobe lateral to the gall bladder with end of needle protruding from the liver. Needle was removed with laparoscopic grasper. Review of the literature regarding 23 other intrahepatic sewing needle cases is also presented.
