Taste the Rainbow
The 27-year-old woman with a history of schizoaffective disorder presented from an inpatient psychiatric facility with an acute onset of nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and early satiety. On examination, vital signs were stable. Abdomen was distended and diffusely tender to palpation but without peritoneal signs. CT scan showed multiple, well-circumscribed lesions of varying density within the gastric body but no evidence of perforation or obstruction. In upper endoscopy, upon entering the stomach, there were numerous crayons layered in the gastric fundus and gastric body, as shown above. An overtube was placed into the stomach under endoscopic guidance, and a total of 81 full-size and intact crayons, crayon wrappers and a pen were removed with a snare. Guidelines on foreign bodies in the stomach recommend urgent removal of sharp or long (>5 cm length) and/or wide (>2.5 cm diameter) objects with surgical consultation if the foreign body is unable to be retrieved endoscopically. The patient did well after the procedure and was discharged back to inpatient psychiatric facility. . * I know it's not gory but I thought it was an impressive feat.  · |

Re: Taste the Rainbow
 Wow. I bet her illness had something to do with it but it would be fascinating to hear the exact reason. However, I don't think she was supposed to become a crayon mule  |

Re: Taste the Rainbow
I'm wondering how all 81 were intact? |

Re: Taste the Rainbow
Most people have trouble swallowing pills. How do these people swallow such large objects?

Re: Taste the Rainbow
I can only say that if she could swallow all that, she probably has some skills that would make a future husband VERY happy, and she should quit being sad about being mentally ill. Just because her boyfriend keeps her chained up in the closet in between uses, is no reason to get all depressed and psycho about it.  |
