Abstract
Perforation after foreign body ingestion is rare. We report a 25-month-old girl who was diagnosed with a stomach perforation with secondary localized peritonitis caused by long, sharp bamboo. On admission, she had abdominal pain and fever. Simple abdominal erect & supine X-ray, abdominal ultrasonogram and computed tomography scan were normal. On the 6 th hospital day, gastrofiberoscopy was performed because a sharp mass was palpated by doctor on abdominal examination. Endoscopic findings revealed a 8 cm-long sharp bamboo tip was pierced to the posterior wall of antrum. This foreign body was removed with Olympus FG-8L alligator forcep. She was managed with NPO and prompt intravenous antibiotics and discharged with clinical improvement.
