- Abstract
Accidental fishbone ingestion is a relatively common occurrence, with most cases going unnoticed as small bones pass through the gastrointestinal tract without issue. However, fishbones can sometimes cause perforation in the terminal ileum or rectosigmoid, leading to intrabdominal sepsis or walled-off collections. In rare cases, fishbones can penetrate adjacent structures, as seen in a 62-year-old female who presented with bladder wall erosion caused by a fishbone. The patient underwent diagnostic laparoscopy and cystoscopy, and eventually had the fishbone surgically removed. This case adds to the literature on the rare condition of intravesical migration of fishbones and provides insights into its diagnosis and management.
