  • Title: [Intragastric foreign bodies. Apropos of an unusual case].
    Author: Falandry L, Thery Y.
    Journal: J Chir (Paris); 1995 Jan; 132(1):45-8. PubMed ID: 7730426.
    Abstract:
    The following report describes a personal experience of an extremely rare case of sharp metal foreign bodies discovered in the stomach of a 22 year old adult African in good health. The authors underline the strange character of the case observed, not only because of the patient's perfect tolerance towards the foreign bodies, mainly sharp metal objects, but also considering the very large amount of objects found and it's corresponding weight (1 kg 400 g). Extraction of the foreign bodies was done by gastrotomy. Basing on our experience and following a review of the literature, the authors discuss the different problems which may occur due to the presence of foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal tract.
