An unusual case of artificial dentures causing multiple ileal perforations
Abstract
Abstract : A 70 year old gentleman presented with
complaints of abdominal pain for 15 days, fever for 7 days
and abdominal distension for 4 days. Physical findings
suggested features of generalized peritonitis. Roentgenogram
and Ultrasonographic investigations revealed features
suggestive of perforative peritonitis. Emergency exploratory
laparatomy revealed two ileal perforations, 20 cm away from
the ileo-caecal junction and palpable artificial dentures
prosthesis of size 5x4 cm adjacent to the perforated segment
was found surprisingly. Extensive peritoneal lavage followed
by resection of the diseased segment was done and primary
end to end anastomosis of ileal segment was performed
