We report a case of a 36-year-old man who was admitted to the Emergency Department with right flank pain. The clinical presentation was suggestive of renal colic. However, a computed tomography scan showed the presence of a foreign body in the inferior duodenal flexure. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy demonstrated a 6.5-cm wooden toothpick deeply embedded in the duodenal wall; this was removed via endoscopy. The peri-duodenal inflammatory reaction had encased the right ureter, resulting in hydronephrosis. The patient did well and was discharged on post-operative day 7. He did not recall toothpick ingestion. When evaluating patients with acute abdominal pain, foreign body ingestion should be considered. In patients with a history of toothpick ingestion, immediate diagnosis with endoscopic management should be performed.
我们报告一例36岁男性患者,因右侧胁腹疼痛入住急诊科。临床表现提示为肾绞痛。然而,计算机断层扫描显示十二指肠下曲存在异物。上消化道内镜检查发现一根6.5厘米长的木制牙签深深嵌入十二指肠壁;通过内镜将其取出。十二指肠周围的炎症反应包裹了右侧输尿管,导致肾积水。患者恢复良好,术后第7天出院。他不记得曾吞食牙签。在评估急性腹痛患者时,应考虑异物吞食情况。对于有牙签吞食史的患者,应立即进行内镜诊断和处理。
