Ileus After Ingestion of Foreign Bodies: A Case Report; Yabanci Cisim Yutma Sonucu Gelişen Ileus: Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Swallowing of foreign bodies, usually caused by mental retardation and psychiatric disturbances, is common; But it is rarely a condition that requires surgical intervention. It is often terminated by the swallowing of swallowed objects. The number of cigarettes that are ingested determines the shape, shape, and timing of the ingestion. A 19-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic for conservative follow-up 4 days before admission to our emergency clinic, who swallowed about 80 nails of the largest 6 cm. We present a 2-day conservative follow-up followed by the operation of the intestinal obstruction. © Copyright 2017 by Gazi University Medical Faculty-Available on-line at web site http://medicaljournal.gazi.edu.tr/.
