Medical treatment for a fish bone-induced ileal micro-perforation: A case report

Figure 2 Two follow-up unenhanced abdominal computer tomography images, which reveal the radiopaque shadow still lodged in the intestinal segment. The fish bone rotates and becomes parallel to the distal ileum lumen. A: Most of the fish bone is still inside the intestinal lumen (white arrow). One end of the fish bone penetrates out the intestinal wall into the mesenteric fat; B: Minimal local inflammatory infiltration contains the protruding part. No free air or abscess is noted (black arrow). The distance between these two images is 18 mm.
