Unusual Foreign Body in the Sigmoid Colon Leading to Perforation Peritonitis

Abstract

Encountering a foreign body in the lower gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is not common in general surgical practice, let alone coming across a case with a complication due to a foreign body. The usual challenge in these cases is to make a prompt diagnosis and expedite the management of the patient before the development of complications. This case report aims to highlight the unusualness of this diagnosis and the problem in managing these patients.
