ABSTRACT

La ingestión accidental de cuerpos extraños en la infancia es un evento frecuente que pocas veces requiere manejo intervencionista y presenta muy pocas complicaciones que impliquen tratamiento quirúrgico. Se presenta un caso clínico de un lactante de 10 meses de edad, sin signos abdominales, en quien se encontró, como hallazgo incidental, un cuerpo extraño radiopaco de 7 cm de longitud en el abdomen compatible con un tornillo. No fue posible realizar la extracción endoscópica y requirió manejo quirúrgico. Se encontró una perforación de la segunda y tercera porción duodenal.


Accidental ingestion of foreign bodies in childhood is a common event that rarely requires interventional management and presents very few complications involving surgical treatment. We present a clinical case of a 10 month old infant, without abdominal manifestations, in whom it was incidentally found a foreign radiopaque body of 7 cm in length in the abdomen, compatible with a screw. It was not possible to extract it by endoscopy. Therefore, it was necessary to perform surgery and a perforation of the second and third portion of the duodenum was encountered.
