Abstract

Ingestion of foreign bodies including dentures can be a cause of morbidity and mortality. We report a case of poor-fit denture in an elderly male with pulmonary and musculoskeletal comorbidities, who presented as an acute abdomen. The pin attached to the denture caused perforation of first part of duodenum. The only positive finding prior to surgery was a radiopaque density in the abdominal radiograph of the patient and air under the diaphragm. It is important for all the surgeons dealing with acute care patients to be aware of different designs and constructions of dentures.
