abstract="A first reported case of caecal perforation by an ingested blunt foreign body is described. This 31-year-old female did not relate a history of accidental swallowing of a cotton bud stick on admission. The cause of her right iliac fossa pain (i.e. caecal perforation by a cotton bud stick) became only apparent when she underwent operation for suspected appendicitis. A simple closure of this caecal perforation was undertaken. The patient made a complete recovery from this ordeal. Caecal perforation by an ingested blunt foreign body can occur after it has safely negotiated the ileocaecal valve.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
