Abstract
BACKGROUND: Ingested foreign bodies (IFBs) are usually asymptomatic and are excreted uneventfully. IFBs become a major concern in elderly patients due to the increase number of diverticuloses where the foreign body can lodge and cause severe complications.
CASE REPORT: We report a case of an elderly patient who ingested a chicken bone that caused recurrent diverticulitis.
CONCLUSIONS: The diagnosis of complicated IFB cases is challenging, requires physician clinical expertise, and must be considered in individuals at risk.
