No one could understand where the teeth went.
The 88-year-old had Alzheimer’s disease and had a history of strokes. She told doctors she had no swallowing problems, abdominal pain, nausea, pain, or other symptoms.
Doctors ran a series of tests on her, all of which appeared to be normal. Therefore, the doctors decided to perform an endoscopic examination of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum.
a surprise
When the speculum was passed through the sphincter of the woman’s esophagus into the stomach, the doctors made a startling discovery.
There, in the stomach, was the tooth.
I thought she was pregnant
The doctors decided to try to remove the tooth from the stomach, using an endoscope as a “fishing rod”. After several attempts, they managed to remove the stinger from the stomach.

It took about two hours to remove the stinger, and the woman was allowed to go home the next day.
Experts from the hospital say that the operation did not cause significant harm to the patient.
Bites are actually one of the most common things when it comes to things that are swallowed. Doctors say it is also common to swallow chicken bones, fish and jewelry.
Furthermore, the doctors explained that the woman’s medical history with both dementia, stroke, and lymphoma in the brain may have contributed to her unawareness of a foreign body moving through her digestive tract.
Minimized risk
They say that this is the explanation for the fact that she did not experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, pain, swallowing problems or the like.
Foreign bodies are a significant risk in adults, and especially in the elderly, as they can lead to serious injury or death.
