Accidental ingestion of foreign bodies occurs frequently in childhood. The majority of them are passed spontaneously, and conservative management generally is recommended for foreign bodies in the stomach and duodenum. However, in some cases, operative intervention should be considered to prevent undesirable complications, such as intestinal perforation. Two cases of intestinal perforation owing to accidental ingestion of a needle are reported.
儿童意外吞食异物的情况屡见不鲜。大多数异物会自行排出,对于胃和十二指肠内的异物,一般建议采取保守治疗。然而,在某些情况下,应考虑进行手术干预以预防诸如肠穿孔等不良并发症。本文报告了两例因意外吞食针头导致肠穿孔的病例。
