Omental Abscesses Caused by Migrating Fish Bones: Two Case Reports

摘要


Accidental ingestion of the foreign body is a common clinical presentation in the general population. Gastrointestinal (GI) perforation caused by an ingested foreign body is rare and occurs in less than 1% of patients. Fish bone is the most common ingested foreign body and causes perforation most frequently. Migration of a fish bone into the adjacent or even distant organs after perforating the GI tract is even rarer. We report two cases of fish bone perforation from the ileum, migrating to the adjacent omentum, and causing omental abscesses. The diagnoses were made preoperatively by using a multi-detector computed tomography, in which the lengths of the fish bones were demonstrated by using a thin collimation (1 mm) and image reconstruction in a plane parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fish bones, which are in good correlation with the surgical findings.
