- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 38-year-old man who was admitted to the hospital because of acute abdominal pain and turbid dialysis fluid. Computed tomography test was performed since the patient complained that he might have ingested a tablet with its press-through package (PTP) two days previously. However, only capsule endoscopy (CE) identified a PTP in the ileum, wherein it was stuck into the ileal wall with a linear mucosal ulcer and it was naturally excreted 10 days thereafter.
