Acute abdomen due to vinyl gloves ingestion in a mentally retarded patient: A Case Report

Saad M AlQahtani, Sathyaprakash M.


Abstract
Foreign body ingestion is a common problem, particularly in pediatric age group. Most of these bodies pass unnoticed and without complications. Only 10 – 20% of cases require endoscopic removal. Surgery is indicated in 1% of patients. Vinyl glove ingestion is a rare differential diagnosis of acute abdomen. A detailed history is helpful to reach the diagnosis in case of foreign body ingestion. We report herein a case of vinyl glove ingestion in a mentally retarded patient, who presented with acute abdomen and mandated a surgical intervention.

Key words: Vinyl glove, Ingestion, Mentally retarded
