幼児の胃内誤嚥異物を内視鏡的に摘出し得た一症例

抄録

A 4-year-old infant visited our clinic complaining of foreign body in the gastrointestinal tract which had swallowed accidentally one week previonsly. In the plain X ray picture, a coin shadow was revealed at the corpus of the stomach, but as the infant had no subjective symptoms, special treatment was not applied. When he revisited our clinic after one month, The Coin was demonstrated in plain X ray film, which was still remaining in the pyloric antrum. We removed it with forward-view endoscope which was used for adults, because it had not been passed through the pylorus over the period of one month.
