Three cases of impaction and penetration of a unique type of foreign body in the gastric antrum are reported. The foreign body-woodstick needles-used to staple leaves together to produce disposable leaf-plates (khalli-patra) was accidentally swallowed with food and presented as a case of acute abdomen. Awareness of this possibility is essential for a timely diagnosis in regions where the practice of using khalli-patra is in vogue, particularly eastern India.
本文报告了3例胃窦部独特类型异物嵌顿和穿透的病例。异物为用于将树叶装订在一起制作一次性叶板（khalli-patra）的木杆针，因随食物意外吞食而表现为急腹症。在使用khalli-patra这种做法盛行的地区，尤其是印度东部，认识到这种可能性对于及时诊断至关重要。
