Odyssey of an accidently ingested sewing needle from mouth to mesentery of small bowel in a young female - Case Report.

Foreign body (FB) ingestion is one of the most common complaint in the emergency room and, extra-intestinal migration of penetrating sharp FBs is one of the most overlooked aspect of medical research. We report a case of accidental ingestion of a sewing needle which was recovered from the mesentery. The 28-year-old female presented to our hospital with abdominal pain and one-month's history of needle ingestion. Initially laparoscopy was performed, which was inconclusive. Afterward, through laparotomy, the needle was successfully removed from the mesentery of small bowel.
