Retained Foreign Body After Stingray Injury; A Case Report

Abstract

Stingray is a demersal sea fish that causes widespread injury around the world. Stingray envenomation may cause local tissue injury as well as systemic effects. Although immersion of the injured area in hot water is effective in the treatment, this treatment does not provide complete relief in cases where there is a foreign body in the tissue. We presented about a case of a 22-year-old male patient with stingray tail detected in x-ray images taken after complete relief was not provided after treatment.
