          Abstract

          Palitos de dente são itens domésticos comuns e a maioria das pessoas subestima a gravidade das lesões que podem ocorrer com a ingestão acidental de palitos. Nós apresentamos um caso de abscesso perineal causado pela ingestão de um palito de dente. Um homem de 55 anos apresentou-se com quadro de dor perianal há um mês. Ao exame físico, notou-se abscesso perineal. Leucocitose com desvio à esquerda foi observada e a tomografia pélvica demonstrou um corpo estranho na região perineal. A remoção cirúrgica do corpo estranho e a drenagem adequada do abscesso foram realizadas, revelando um palito de dente. O paciente evoluiu bem após a abordagem cirúrgica. O abscesso perineal pode progredir para gangrena de Fournier e, portanto, a abordagem de abscessos perineais deve ser agressiva, com drenagem adequada e remoção do corpo estranho (sempre que presente).

          Toothpicks are a common household item and most people underestimate the seriousness of injuries that can occur with accidental ingestion. We report a case of a perineal abscess caused by an ingested toothpick. A 55-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with a 30-day history of perianal pain. Physical examination was unremarkable, except for a perineal abscess. Leucocytosis with 10% bands was present and pelvic tomography demonstrated a foreign body located in the perineal area. Surgical removal of the foreign body with adequate abscess drainage was performed revealing a toothpick. Perineal abscess may progress to Fournier's gangrene and as a consequence the management of a perineal abscess should be aggressive with adequate drainage and removal of the foreign body (if present).

          Toothpick-related injuries in the United States, 1979 through 1982.

          From 1979 to 1982, an estimated 8,176 toothpick-related injuries occurred yearly (3.6 per 100,000 population per year). The rate of injury was greatest among children 5 to 14 years old, but children younger than 5 years had a rate of injury to the eyeball and ear more than 20 times greater than that of other persons. Since young children appear to be at greatest risk, toothpicks should be kept out of their reach.
