Article Synopsis
- A 39-year-old woman with a history of Crohn’s disease experiences severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and bloating, hinting at a complication from a previously ingested dental post and crown.
- Imaging confirms bowel obstruction, and tests reveal significant ileal stenosis along with the presence of the dental foreign body.
- Due to her history of Crohn’s disease and concerns about further complications, surgical intervention is performed, resulting in an uneventful ileocecal resection and removal of the foreign body.
Rectal perforations due to topical treatments (enemas or foams) are unusual complications and they have been mostly reported in the use of barium enemas or in elderly patients with constipation. Very little has been reported about perforations secondary to topical treatment in patients with ulcerative colitis.
