Abstract

Abdominal pain is among the most common reasons for emergency room visits, with a rate of approximately 7 percent. Most of the time patient history taken from the patient or relatives, physical examination and laboratory findings are not enough to diagnose the patient and additional radiological imaging such as upright abdominal radiography or ultrasound is needed. Although the exact cause of patients' abdominal pain may not always be determined in the emergency room, life threatening conditions should always be excluded. It is always important to make a quick, early and correct diagnosis. In this case report, we have explained the diagnosis of an intraabdominal foreign object with lateral radiography seen in a Syrian refugee who presented with abdominal pain to our emergency room.

Özet

Karın ağrısı, yaklaşık %7'lik bir oranla acil servis başvurularının en sık nedenleri arasında yer almaktadır. Çoğu zaman hasta veya yakınlarından alınan öykü, fizik muayene ve laboratuvar bulguları hastaya tanı koymak için yeterli olmamakta ve dik karın grafisi veya ultrason gibi ek radyolojik görüntülemelere ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Hastaların karın ağrısının kesin nedeni acil serviste her zaman belirlenemeyebilse de, hayatı tehdit eden durumlar her zaman dışlanmalıdır. Hızlı, erken ve doğru tanı koymak her zaman önemlidir. Bu olgu sunumunda, acil servisimize karın ağrısı ile başvuran Suriyeli bir mültecide görülen karın içi yabancı cisim tanısını lateral radyografi ile açıkladık.
