Deliberate ingestion of foreign bodies is not a new subject especially in our society where such patients are neglected and their problems are rarely investigated properly. These kinds of problems usually have a compulsive driven and complicated elements involved which are very refractory to treatment and are often repetitive. Such a habit is mostly seen in children of very tender age but the situation is more worrisome when you come across adults who are otherwise considered normal but are found to have a deliberate compulsion to ingest funny things like papers, stones, jewelry and other injurious agents which can lead to life threatening complications. A very interesting case of a young girl is presented here which will certainly be beneficial to the surgeons as well as practitioners.
故意吞食异物并非一个新话题，尤其是在我们这个社会，这类患者往往被忽视，他们的问题很少得到妥善调查。这类问题通常涉及强迫性驱动和复杂因素，治疗起来非常棘手，而且往往会反复出现。这种习惯在年幼的儿童中最为常见，但当遇到原本被认为正常但却故意强迫自己吞食纸张、石头、珠宝等奇怪物品以及其他可能导致危及生命并发症的有害物品的成年人时，情况就更令人担忧了。本文介绍了一个非常有趣的年轻女孩的病例，这对外科医生和从业者肯定会有帮助。
