Abstract:
n:Intentional and unintentional foreign body ingestion is common in clinical practice. Conscious extracorporeal ingestion has been observed frequently in adults with psychiatric illnesses and among prisoners. There is controversy about the management of sharp or pointed objects. We contribute to this existing controversy by presenting a case of a 38-year-old woman who accidentally swallowed two metal needles and was successfully treated with conservative management. Case Presentation: We discuss the case of a 38-year-old woman who presented to our emergency department after accidentally swallowing two metal needles 2 hours before presentation. She was initially asymptomatic and then began to complain of vague abdominal symptoms. X-rays of the chest and abdomen revealed the presence of two metal needles in the mid-abdomen. Clinical Discussion: A limited number of epidemiologic studies have elucidated the incidence and prevalence of foreign body ingestion in adults. The likelihood of spontaneous passage depends on several factors, including the size, shape and composition of the affected object, as well as the age of the patient and the duration of ingestion before exposure. Conclusion: Taking into account the variability of ingested objects and the availability of multiple treatment modalities, patient treatment should always be developed..
