Özet

Özet Giriş: Bu olgu sunumunda, acil servise 2 gündür karın ağrısı ve kabızlık şikayetiyle başvuran bir karın ağrısı olgusunu sunmayı amaçladık. Olgu sunumu: 76 yaşında bir kadın hasta, 2 gündür karın ağrısı ve kabızlık şikayetiyle acil servisimize başvurdu. Fizik muayenede karın şişkinliği, yaygın hassasiyet ve hipoaktif bağırsak sesleri görüldü. Abdominal düz karın radyografisinde sol alt kadranda ve sol üst kadranda yaklaşık 10-12 adet benzer şekilli hiperdense yabancı cisim (uzun boyutu 15 mm, kısa boyutu 5 mm ölçüldü) görüldü. Abdominal bilgisayarlı tomografide, biri midede, diğerleri kolonda olmak üzere farklı yerleşim ve içeriklere sahip yoğun kalsifik-metalik karakterli benzer şekilli nodüler yabancı cisimler görüldü. Ertesi gün şikayetlerine siyah dışkılama da eklendi. 3 gün sonra yapılan endoskopi ve kolonoskopide kalsifik-metalik görünümlü nodüler yabancı cisim görülmedi. Hasta gastroenteroloji bölümü tarafından takip edildi ve genel durumu düzeldikten sonra taburcu edildi. Sonuç: Karın ağrısı ile başvuran hastalarda mide ve bağırsaklarda yüksek yoğunluklu kalsifik metalik nodüler lezyonların altında atipik yeme bozukluklarının yatabileceği akılda tutulmalıdır.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction: In this case report, we aimed to present a case of abdominal pain who presented to the emergency department with complaints of abdominal pain and constipation for 2 days. Case report: A 76-year-old woman presented to our emergency department with complaints of abdominal pain and constipation for 2 days. Physical examination revealed a distended abdomen, diffuse tenderness and hypoactive bowel sounds. Abdominal plain abdominal radiography showed approximately 10-12 similarly shaped hyperdense foreign bodies (long dimension measured 15 mm and short dimension measured 5 mm) in the left lower quadrant and left upper quadrant. Abdominal computed tomography showed similarly shaped nodular foreign bodies with dense calcific-metallic characteristic foreign bodies with different locations and contents, one in the stomach and the others in the colon. The next day, black stools were added to her complaints. Endoscopy and colonoscopy performed 3 days later revealed no nodular foreign body with calcific-metallic appearance. The patient was followed up by the gastroenterology department and discharged after her general condition improved. Conclusion: It should be kept in mind that atypical eating disorders may underlie high-density calcific-metallic nodular lesions in the stomach and intestines in patients presenting with abdominal pain.
