Although acupuncture is known as a safe procedure that is widely used in many countries, complications including infection, hemorrhage, hematoma, pneumothorax, nerve damage, and cardiac tamponade have been reported. A needle penetrating the stomach after acupuncture, however, is very rare. Here, we report the case of 47-year-old woman who experienced abdominal pain 2 days after receiving acupuncture. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy identified an approximately 2.5-cm long needle in the posterior wall of the antrum. The needle was removed endoscopically using rat tooth forceps with no complications.
尽管针灸被认为是一种安全的疗法，在许多国家广泛应用，但也有包括感染、出血、血肿、气胸、神经损伤和心脏压塞等并发症的报道。然而，针灸后针穿透胃部的情况非常罕见。在此，我们报告一例47岁女性，在接受针灸治疗2天后出现腹痛。上消化道内镜检查发现胃窦后壁有一根约2.5厘米长的针。通过内镜用鼠齿钳取出了针，未出现并发症。
