An unusual case of a foreign body lodged in the appendix after traumatic intestinal penetration is described. Although rarely found, foreign bodies in the appendix may produce acute appendicitis and other complications which necessitate surgery. An appendectomy is recommended: 1) for all symptomatic patients; 2) in patients with pointed objects retained because such patients are at potential risk for perforation; or 3) in any patient with a foreign body in the appendix who is undergoing intra-abdominal surgery for other reasons.
本文描述了一例创伤性肠穿孔后异物嵌顿于阑尾的罕见病例。阑尾异物虽罕见，但可引发急性阑尾炎及其他需要手术治疗的并发症。对于以下情况建议行阑尾切除术：1）所有有症状的患者；2）有尖锐物体残留的患者，因为这类患者有穿孔的潜在风险；或3）因其他原因正在接受腹部手术且阑尾有异物的任何患者。
