Abstract

Foreign body ingestion is an important condition with a potentially high mortality rate that is encountered in pediatric emergency departments and outpatient polyclinics. Foreign body ingestion occurs in 80% of children, especially those between 6 months and 3 years of age. However, in patients with mental disorders, in this case, autism, foreign body ingestion may occur at any age. A 16-year-old autistic patient presented with complaints of discomfort and restlessness, with no history of ingestion, however, we discovered through further investigations that the patient had in fact swallowed a foreign object. In this case, we would like to emphasize that autistic patients of any age can ingest foreign bodies, even without any suspicious history.

Özet

Yabancı cisim yutulması, pediatrik acil servislerinde ve genel polikliniklerde karşılaştığımız, potansiyel olarak yüksek ölüm oranına sahip olabilecek önemli bir durumdur. Yabancı cisim yutulması çocukların % 80’înde ve özellikle 6 ay ile 3 yaş arasındaki çocuklarda görülür. Ancak ruhsal bozukluğu olan hastalarda, özellikle bu olguda olduğu gibi otizimli çocuklarda, yabancı cisim yutulması her yaşta ortaya çıkabilir. 16 yanındaki otistik bir hastada, rahatsızlık ve huzursuzluk şikayeti ile getirildi, öyküsünü sorguladığımızda bize yararlı bir bilgi yoktu, daha ileri incelemelerde hastanın aslında yabancı bir nesneyi yuttuğunu fark ettik. Bu durum nedeni ile her yaştaki otistik hastaların öykü alma sırasında herhangi bir şüphe duymadan yabancı cisim yutabileceğini vurgulamak istiyoruz.
