Among the causes of appendicitis, foreign body obstruction of the appendiceal lumen is one of the rarest. In the majority of cases, swallowed foreign bodies pass through the alimentary system without causing any significant disease manifestation. Of those items that are swallowed, rigid and/or sharp ones, such as needles, have the greatest potential to enter the appendiceal lumen and cause an inflammatory reaction with or without perforation. In this case report, appendectomy was performed in a patient who was symptomatic after swallowing a sharp foreign body.
在阑尾炎的病因中，阑尾腔的异物阻塞是最罕见的原因之一。在大多数情况下，吞咽的异物会通过消化系统而不引起任何明显的疾病表现。在那些被吞咽的物品中，坚硬和/或尖锐的物品，如针，最有可能进入阑尾腔并引起炎症反应，无论是否穿孔。在本病例报告中，一名患者在吞咽尖锐异物后出现症状，接受了阑尾切除术。
