Diagnosing ingested foreign bodies is challenging. Helical computed tomography (3D CT) effectively identified swallowed fish bones and press-through package material, aiding diagnosis when traditional methods failed.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology
  • Surgical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Ingested foreign bodies present diagnostic challenges.
  • Timely diagnosis is crucial to prevent complications.
  • Traditional diagnostic methods may be insufficient.

Observation:

  • Two cases of difficult foreign body ingestion were presented.
  • Helical computed tomography (3D CT) was utilized for diagnosis.
  • Traditional methods failed to identify the foreign bodies.

Findings:

  • 3D CT successfully diagnosed a sigmoid colon perforation caused by a swallowed fish bone.
  • 3D CT identified ileus secondary to an ingested press-through package (PTP).
  • Helical computed tomography proved effective for preoperative diagnosis in these complex cases.

Implications:

  • 3D CT is a valuable tool for diagnosing foreign body ingestion.
  • This imaging modality should be considered for challenging cases.
  • Effective diagnosis can guide appropriate surgical intervention and improve patient outcomes.
