abstract="Four cases of gastrointestinal perforation by chicken bones are presented. Variability in the clinical manifestations generally precludes a correct preoperative diagnosis of intraabdominal chicken bone abscess. However, in 2 patients, a diagnosis was possible with plain abdominal radiographs. Although the abnormalities seen were nonspecific, the identification of a chicken bone with an associated mass or extraluminal gas collection in a patient with signs of peritonitis, mechanical bowel obstruction, or pneumoperitoneum strongly suggests the diagnosis. A history of alcoholism or wearing dentures strengthens it.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
