AI Article Synopsis
- - A 14-year-old boy with cerebral palsy was admitted for persistent vomiting, which led to the discovery of a foreign body (a sock) in his intestines.
- - While most foreign objects pass through the gastrointestinal tract without major issues, they can occasionally cause intestinal blockages, resulting in symptoms like ileus.
- - The boy underwent surgical procedures (enterotomy and enterostomy) to remove the foreign object and address the obstruction.
Article Abstract
Although most foreign bodies leave the gastrointestinal tract spontaneously without causing serious injuries such as bleeding and obstruction, they can sometimes occlude the intestine and may present with symptoms of ileus. A 14-year-old boy with cerebral palsy was admitted to our center due to persistent bilious vomiting. A foreign body (sock) was seen in the jejunal loops at laparotomy. Enterotomy and enterostomy were performed.
