title: Multidetector ct diagnosis of jejunal perforation by a chicken bone.
abstract: We report a case of perforation of the proximal jejunum by a sharp chicken bone. This case emphasizes the effectiveness of multislice CT in complex abdominal situations thanks to its possibilities of multiplanar reconstructions obtained with thinner collimation and higher resolution.
