Abstract

Ingested foreign bodies (FBs) rarely cause gastrointestinal perforation; however, long, hard, or sharp indigestible objects remain potentially dangerous. We report a case of intestinal perforation by an ingested fragment of a wooden skewer for which ultrasonography led to a precise preoperative diagnosis.
