Dental Prothesis Found in the Jejuno (9 of 9)
Case description
A close up of this ingested dental prothesis
Most foreign objects that have passed into the small
intestine usually traverse the GI tract without problem,
even if they take weeks or months to do so. They tend to
be held up just before the ileocecal valve or at any site of
narrowing, as is present in Crohn's disease. Sometimes
objects such as toothpicks remain within the GI tract for
many years, only to turn up in a granuloma or abscess.
