Abstract
The authors report the case of a g-year-old boy who had a needle in hi s appendix. The contrast between absence of clinical symptoms and clea r inflammatory changes of the appendix is noted. The authors recommend appendectomy for patients with pointed foreign bodies in the appendix to avoid inflammation and perforation. Copyright (C) 1995 by W.B. Sau nders Company.
