CONCLUSION
Identifying a case of fishbone
ingestion is difficult because patients often do not remember when they
ate fish, especially children.
Therefore, it is critical for
parents to recall their children’s food and drinking history. In the
case of a child with acute abdomen, doctors have to ask carefully about
eating and drinking histories, if they ate fish, chicken, and so on, or
not. A clinical examination
together with imaging diagnosis is necessary to make the most accurate
diagnosis. When performing an inflammatory appendectomy, the abdomen
should also be carefully examined.
