We describe the case of a patient who presented with abdominal pain, weight loss, and night sweats of 8 wk duration due to the impalement of a toothpick in the transverse colon. The toothpick, which was inadvertently swallowed, was successfully removed during colonoscopy. Therapeutic colonoscopy has replaced or lessened to a significant degree the need for traditional open surgical procedures to extract foreign bodies from the colon. Unexplained abdominal pain and constitutional symptoms should alert the clinician to the possibility of a foreign body.
我们描述了一例患者，该患者因牙签刺入横结肠出现持续8周的腹痛、体重减轻和盗汗症状。这根无意中吞下的牙签在结肠镜检查期间被成功取出。治疗性结肠镜检查在很大程度上已取代或减少了传统开放性外科手术从结肠取出异物的必要性。不明原因的腹痛和全身症状应提醒临床医生注意异物存在的可能性。
