Abstract

The case of an infant who developed intestinal obstruction following ingestion of a pacifier is reported. Progression of this foreign body in the intestinal lumen was extremely slow because of the deformability of the material and laparotomy was required. The authors point out that this is a difficult diagnosis and that regulations on manufacturing standards should be enforced in order to avoid such accidents.

Case report: urinary retention secondary to a foreign body in the male urethra.

We report the case of a male patient who presented to the Emergency Department with urinary retention secondary to a suspected foreign object in his urethra. We review the diagnosis and management of self-inserted urethral foreign objects in men. Emergent treatment is necessary in patients with urethral foreign objects. Prompt radiologic studies should be obtained because immediate bladder access and drainage is mandatory, especially in patients presenting with urosepsis or urinary retention. Endoscopic removal is the management of choice.

A 45-year-old patient was found to have an intracranial sewing needle, located in the left frontal lobe. The needle was detected incidentally after minor head trauma. The clinical and radiological findings suggested that it might have entered the brain through the anterior fontanelle.
