| Popis: |
A case report of a 19-years-old mentally retarded girl, presented with abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting of two days duration. Physical examination revealed abdominal tenderness with guarding and rigidity. Exploratory laparotomy revealed the presence of magnets in the jejunum with perforation of jejunum and a resultant gastro jejunal fistula. The procedure involved enterotomy for removal of magnets, resection of the segment of the bowel with fistula and perforation and end-to-end anastomosis. The association of ingested magnets, leading to dual complications, is a rare case ever reported in Dubai. |
