World J Gastroenterol
November 2012
Article Synopsis
- Ingested fish bones can cause intestinal perforations, which are often not diagnosed before surgery due to poor patient history and imaging challenges.
- A 44-year-old man was diagnosed with a fish bone micro-perforation in his intestines, confirmed by CT after he recalled eating fish.
- Instead of surgery, medical treatment was successfully used, leading to full recovery by hospital day 4, influenced by the patient's good health and early diagnosis.
