title: Case of unrecognised food bone ingestion with dual site intestinal perforations.
abstract: Food bone perforation of the bowel is a relatively rare diagnosis. Its presentation is non-specific and often misdiagnosed. We present a case where a food bone perforation in both the large and small bowel was diagnosed on CT scan. A successful outcome was achieved with surgical treatment.
