이쑤시개 섭취에 의한 대장 천공 = Colon Perforation by an Ingested Toothpick

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract can be seen in all age groups and is not uncommon to see in the emergency department. Most are pediatric, edentulous, incarcerated and/or psychiatric patients. Since ingested objects are expected to pass spontaneously in 80% to 90% of patients with normal anatomy, direct foreign body removal using surgical intervention is rarely required. However, an ingested toothpick is of surgical interest as a cause of significant morbidity and even mortality. This is due to the difficulty in preoperative diagnosis resulting from a lack of history of ingestion of the toothpick and to the toothpick's radiolucent qualities. We report the case of a patient with peritonitis due to perforation of the sigmoid colon, a complication of accidental ingestion of a toothpick, that was diagnosed at the surgical field. Related literature is reviewed together.
