Foreign body ingestion occurs mainly in mentally impaired person, but rarely in healthy adults. We present a case of an accidental dental bridge ingestion in a 48-year-old male which was removed by colonoscopy. A 48-year-old man was admitted with recurrence of previously diagnosed right knee septic arthritis requiring multiple surgical interventions and treatment with high-dose narcotic analgesia. During his hospitalization, he attempted to place his upper left dental bridge, but he accidentally ingested it. On evaluation, the patient felt that the appliance was stuck in his upper chest and was associated with significant chest discomfort. Examination revealed audible upper airway wheezing, but normal bowel sounds and no abdominal tenderness. Chest X-ray showed radiopaque foreign body (denture) near the gastroesophageal junction, and emergent endoscopy (EGD) was done, but the appliance had passed beyond the reach of the EGD and was not visualized. Serial Abdominal X-rays were performed to observe denture passage through the GI tract where it eventually came to rest in the area of the cecum/ascending colon. There was no further advancement after three days and bowel preparation, and the patient continued to complain of abdominal pain. Therefore, a colonoscopy was performed for removal. On entry into the proximal ascending colon, the appliance was visualized clearly. A snare was used to grasp the exposed screw, and it was slowly removed with one attempt. The patient's abdominal pain resolved post-procedure and was discharged in a stable condition. The ingestion of foreign bodies is a serious event, common in children and adults with neuropsychiatric disorders that can have significant complications. More than 80% of ingested foreign bodies pass without the need for intervention2,3. Common symptoms include hoarseness, choking sensation, retrosternal pain, abdominal pain and melena. The approach to management depends upon the object ingested, the location, and the patient's clinical status. Conservative management is appropriate for the majority of patients, since most objects will pass uneventfully2,3. Sharp foreign objects can be observed initially for three days. If conservative management fails and the patient has persistent abdominal pain, either endoscopic or surgical intervention is required. In this case a patient with ingested dentures, which came to rest in the proximal colon, underwent successful removal via snare during colonoscopy.Figure: Abdominal X ray showing the foreign body overlying the right abdomen could be within the Proximal transverse colon, or could be within the right colon.
