Abstract
Most ingested foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal
tract without any incident. However, foreign bodies lodged
in the appendix can cause an inflammatory reaction with or without
perforation. Here, we present a case of a 54-year-old woman with
perforated appendicitis who consumed wild game containing a shot
pellet. Five months before admission, she had eaten the meat of a
pheasant that had been shot with a shotgun. Abdominal computed
tomography confirmed the diagnosis of perforated appendicitis with
abscess due to a foreign body. Subsequently, a laparoscopic appendectomy
was performed. Follow-up radiographs obtained after the
surgery did not identify the foreign body. Histolopathologic examination
confirmed appendiceal perforation with focal inflammation
secondary to a foreign body.
Key Words: perforated appendicitis, foreign bodies, appendectomy
