Foreign bodies entering the body via ingestion, aspiration, or insertion are examined. This review covers their epidemiology, presentation, and imaging characteristics in the emergency department (ED).

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Foreign bodies are frequently encountered in emergency departments (EDs).
  • Common entry routes include ingestion, aspiration, and purposeful insertion.
  • Accurate identification and management are crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the epidemiology, clinical presentation, and imaging features of foreign bodies in the ED.
  • To discuss the optimal use of various imaging modalities for foreign body detection.
  • To highlight imaging findings that may alter clinical management or necessitate emergency intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Review of common foreign body entry mechanisms (ingestion, aspiration, insertion).
  • Examination of epidemiological data and clinical presentations.

  • Analysis of imaging characteristics using radiography, ultrasonography, fluoroscopy, and computed tomography (CT).

    • Main Results:

    • Detailed discussion of imaging findings for various foreign bodies.
    • Emphasis on the utility of different imaging techniques based on body location and suspected material.
    • Identification of critical imaging and clinical features influencing management decisions.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective utilization of diverse imaging techniques is essential for diagnosing and managing foreign bodies in the ED.
    • Understanding key imaging and clinical features aids in timely and appropriate interventions.
    • This review provides a comprehensive guide for emergency physicians and radiologists.
