Most ingested foreign bodies pass through the gastro-intestinal tract without giving rise to complications. If they become lodged in a narrow segment of the gastro-intestinal tract, perforation may occur. The resulting morbidity depends on the further route of the penetrating object and whether septic sequelae ensue. This article describes an unusual case of foreign body perforation with a protracted clinical course. It emphasises that there are no insurmountable barriers in the pathway of foreign bodies.
大多数摄入的异物可通过胃肠道而不引发并发症。如果它们嵌顿在胃肠道的狭窄段，则可能发生穿孔。由此产生的发病率取决于穿透物体的进一步路径以及是否会出现感染性后遗症。本文描述了一例异物穿孔的不寻常病例，其临床病程迁延。它强调异物在其路径上没有不可逾越的障碍。
