Clin Case Rep. 2019 Aug 4;7(9):1717-1720. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.2348. eCollection 2019 Sep.

Abstract

We describe a case in which retained wires from a continuous glucose monitor were removed from the abdominal wall and peritoneum of a 6-year-old boy. We highlight a concern for continuous glucose monitor use in children and discuss surgical techniques used to retrieve tiny, mobile objects from complex body cavities.

Keywords: children; continuous glucose monitoring; retained foreign body; type 1 diabetes.
