Fish Bone Perforation: A Rare Cause of Liver Abscess
| Resumo: | Abstract Perforations of the gastrointestinal tract by foreign bodies are relatively infrequent, and several associated complications may arise, namely infectious complications at the site of the perforation, as well as in adjacent structures due to enteric content. Computed Tomography plays an essential role in these cases to evaluate complications, in most cases managing to identify the foreign body. We present a rare case of a liver abscess caused by a perforation with a fishbone in a 72-year-old woman. |
