Retrospective Evaluation of 377 Patients with Penetrating Foreign Body Injuries: A University Hospital Experience (A present case of missed sponge foreign body injury).

CONCLUSION: For diagnosis of FBs, besides taking history from a patient, obtaining two-sided radiogram are of great importance. For non-radiolucent or deeply located FBs further clinical or radiological investigation must be considered to avoid complications. Although most of the FBs can be removed in the emergency department, depending upon the site of FB and age of the patient may require hospitalization and operation for its removal.
