| Core Tip |
Wooden toothpicks are radiolucent and may be missed on imaging, leading to delayed diagnosis. This case demonstrates ascending colon toothpick impaction discovered during screening colonoscopy after a prior episode of acute abdominal pain with computed tomography suggestive of obstruction. Endoscopic removal was successful without complication, emphasizing the importance of clinical suspicion and timely endoscopic evaluation. |
