Introduction: Intestinal perforations caused by foreign bodies are rare, occurring in less than 20% of cases. The clinical presentation is nonspecific and can mimic other surgical pathologies, making diagnosis often intraoperative. Treatment for such cases is surgical.
Objective: To describe the case of an elderly female patient presenting with acute abdomen, where an incidental finding of a foreign body was identified through abdominal computed tomography, revealing a chicken bone that perforated an intestinal loop.
Discussion: Foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal tract often go unnoticed in many individuals as they typically do not cause symptoms. When complications arise, the symptoms are nonspecific, and the diagnosis is usually made during surgery. Therefore, thorough history-taking, a high index of suspicion in certain patients, and timely management are critical.
Conclusion: Intestinal perforation caused by foreign bodies is uncommon. Diagnostic suspicion is crucial, and surgical treatment is an important approach in managing these complications.
