Role of computed tomography (CT) in identifying foreign body ingestion in an individual with autism – A case report

Foreign body ingestions are quite common and most often will uneventfully pass in stool, however, some ingestions, can lead to complications such as obstruction. If left untreated, this can lead to perforation and fistula formation. Hence, threshold for intervention should be low and diagnostic imag...
