Abstract

BACKGROUND: Retention of a foreign body for long duration may lead to serious morbidity in the form of infection, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and chronic pelvic pain.CASE: We report a rare case of a 26 year old unmarried girl who presented with chronic pelvic pain and an offensive vaginal discharge for the past ten years. A radio-opaque shadow was seen on abdominal X-ray in the pelvis. Hysteroscopy confirmed a metallic foreign body in the uterus. A tubelight starter was retrieved from the uterus with difficulty.CONCLUSION: In a patient with recurrent, unremitting foul smelling discharge with pelvic pain, possibility of a retained foreign body should always be kept in mind. Although imaging modalities are useful, vaginoscopy or hysteroscopy can clinch the diagnosis.

Özet

GİRİŞ: Uterusta yabancı bir cismin uzun süre kalması enfeksiyon, pelvik inflamatuar hastalık (PID) ve kronik pelvik ağrı şeklinde ciddi morbiditeye yol açabilir.VAKA: Kronik pelvik ağrı ve son 10 yıldır süern rahatsız edici vajinal akıntı şikayetleriyle baş vuran 26 yaşında bekar bir kadında direkt karın grafisinde pelviste radyo-opak bir gölge saptandı. Histeroskopi sonucunda uterusta yabancı metal bir nesne olduğu doğrulandı. Bir el feneri düğmesi uterustan zorlukla çıkarıldı.TARTIŞMA: Pelvik ağrıyla birlikte tekrarlayan, sürekli ve kötü kokulu akıntısı olan bir hastada genital organlarda yabancı bir cisim bulunabileceği olasılığı göz ardı edilmemelidir. Görüntüleme yöntemleri faydalı olsa da, vajinoskopi veya histeroskopi tanı koydurucudur.
