Özet
Foreign body (FB) ingestion is commonly encountered in a clinical setting. However, the presence of perforation resulting from the ingested FB is an occurrence that is rarely seen. The most common cause of
FB perforation is known to be fish bone. It is important to emphasize that the complications resulting from
fish bone ingestion may lead to findings such as acute abdomen signs that can also be interpreted as other
medical conditions, including acute appendicitis, acute diverticulitis, or peptic ulcer perforation. Thus, the
differential diagnosis should be made, and the patient should be managed accordingly. In cases where the
patient presents with acute abdomen signs but there are no clinical findings that may explain the initial diagnosis of the patient, a complete surgical exploration should be performed. We present a 50-year-old male
patient who presented to the emergency room with complaints of abdominal pain. Following a thorough
clinical examination and blood investigations, it was revealed that he had acute abdomen signs and a high
level of C-reactive protein and because of these findings, exploratory laparoscopy was decided to be performed. Intraoperatively, the FB was removed and the site of perforation was repaired with primary closure.
