Abstract
We present the case of a male with generalized abdominal pain of sudden onset in the right hemiabdomen, associated with defense and leukocytosis. The study of contrast CT identified a foreign body with a linear and sharp morphology that crossed the wall of a small bowel loop (Fig. 1). The patient underwent a segmental resection of the ileum, which showed a Meckel's diverticulum perforated by a chicken bone.
