Article Synopsis
- Accidental foreign body (FB) ingestion is frequent in the elderly, especially among those without teeth or wearing dentures, with common FBs being food items like chicken and fish bones.
- Large or irregularly shaped FBs often lead to serious complications, although a rare case is discussed where a chicken bone was ingested without the patient experiencing typical symptoms like choking or pain.
- The case involved a thorough examination, including imaging, which showed the bone lodged in the anal canal, and it was successfully removed; the patient was advised on better chewing habits and dental health to prevent future incidents.
