Abstract

A case of an ingested chicken bone lodging in the anal canal is described which presented as severe rectal pain. Certain people are at increased risk of foreign body ingestion, in particular denture wearers. The foreign body is usually obvious and easily removed and although the risks of perforation are not high it is important to exclude it by proctosigmoidoscopy following removal of the foreign body.
