Medical Must-See: Swallowed chicken bone lodges in unexpected site
Why did the chicken bone cross the small intestine?
The answer is mostly put down to good luck, according to Kuwaiti doctors, who are reporting a rare case of foreign body ingestion that had no serious complications.
The patient, a 51-year-old woman, presented to ED complaining of a hard, sharp object that projected from her anus during defecation.
She had a history of chronic constipation but no prior instances of food choking or abdominal pain, and her family confirmed she did not have dementia.
