Description
Shigenori Masaki and Motoya Kashiyama reported a rare gut injury case in 2026. A 65-year-old man came in with three days of left-sided belly pain, severe tenderness, and high inflammation markers. Two weeks earlier he had eaten salmon head soup. A CT scan showed a thin, bright line piercing his descending colon and reaching into the abdominal wall.
Surgeons operated at once, since infection of the belly lining had set in. They found and removed a fish bone four centimeters long that had speared through the wall. The hole was stitched closed and patched with fatty tissue. The man recovered without problems and left hospital one week later. The case credits fast CT diagnosis for the good result.
