A glass fragment, overlooked after an injury, migrated to a woman's pelvis causing colon perforation. Surgical removal was necessary to treat this rare complication of a previously repaired laceration.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • A patient presented with abdominal pain, prompting diagnostic imaging.
  • Previous medical history included a laceration to the lower back treated 20 months prior.

Observation:

  • Radiographs revealed a large foreign body within the pelvic region.
  • The foreign body was identified as an 8.5 cm glass fragment within the bowel.

Findings:

  • A diagnosis of colon perforation was established.
  • The glass fragment was surgically removed during laparotomy.
  • Imaging demonstrated the migration and subsequent location of the overlooked foreign body.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of thoroughness in trauma assessment and follow-up.
