We present a case of a 43-year-old man with Crohn's disease who presented with epigastric and right upper quadrant abdominal pain, initially suspected to be acute cholecystitis or a Crohn's flare-up. CT revealed a curvilinear, hyperdense foreign body adjacent to the duodenum, concerning micro-perforation. Endoscopic examination confirmed findings of a 3 cm fish bone lodged in the pylorus. Endoscopic extraction was successful without significant mucosal damage, and the patient recovered well postoperatively. This case highlights the rarity of pyloric perforation secondary to fish bone ingestion and highlights the importance of considering this diagnosis in patients presenting with unexplained acute abdominal pain, as prompt recognition and intervention are essential for favorable outcomes.
我们报告一例43岁克罗恩病男性患者,该患者出现上腹部和右上腹疼痛,最初怀疑为急性胆囊炎或克罗恩病发作。CT显示十二指肠旁有一条曲线状、高密度异物,提示微小穿孔。内镜检查证实有一根3厘米长的鱼骨嵌顿在幽门处。内镜下成功取出鱼骨,黏膜无明显损伤,患者术后恢复良好。该病例凸显了鱼骨吞食继发幽门穿孔的罕见性,并强调了在不明原因急性腹痛患者中考虑这一诊断的重要性,因为及时识别和干预对于取得良好预后至关重要。
