Multiple Foreign bodies in the GI tract (1 of 12)
Case description
Psychiatric patients may swallow a wide variety of objects, including multiple objects, large objects, and bizarre items.
The treatment of patients with suspected radiopaque
foreign bodies is usually straightforward because these can
be easily localized on plain radiographs.
For nonradiopaque foreign objects, plain radiographs are
not helpful. Studies such as barium swallows or CT
scanning may help to confirm or localize a foreign body,
but often they only delay definitive care.
