Description

Dyspepsia is defined as predominant epigastric pain lasting greater than one month.

Common etiologies of dyspepsia include peptic ulcer disease, medications, and gastroesophageal reflux.

We present a rare case of dyspepsia caused by a mycotic aneurysm due to accidental foreign body ingestion leading to emergent inpatient intervention.
