我们报告的情况下，患者吞下一个王冠，三周后出现腹痛和发热。在手术中，他的牙冠被发现引起了阑尾炎。此前有报道称，异物会导致阑尾炎，但从未出现过牙冠。我们讨论了腹部放射学在处理此类异物中的适当性。
We report the case of a patient who swallowed a crown and three weeks later presented with abdominal pain and fever. At operation his crown was found to be causing appendicitis. Foreign bodies have previously been reported as causing appendicitis but never a crown. We discuss the appropriateness of abdominal radiology in the management of such foreign bodies.
