由异物引起的阑尾炎非常罕见；然而，摄入的异物进入阑尾后可能无法重新进入结肠，并可能导致阑尾炎或穿孔。准确和及时的诊断对于将发病率降至最低至关重要。我们报告一例39岁的患者，超声检查是诊断牙源性异物引起的阑尾炎的关键诊断工具。
Appendicitis caused by a foreign body is quite rare; however, ingested foreign bodies that enter into the appendix may not be able to reenter the colon and may cause appendicitis or perforation. An accurate and prompt diagnosis is essential for minimizing morbidity. We report a case of a 39-year-old patient in whom ultrasonography was the key diagnostic tool in detecting appendicitis caused by a foreign body of dental origin.
