Abstract
Ingested foreign bodies (Fb) in children usually pass out in stools without any sequels. However, Fbs like open safety pins, button batteries, and super absorbent polymer (SAP) / jelly toys are associated with complications such as intestinal obstruction, and bowel perforation. Intestinal obstruction in children of uncertain nature should raise a suspicion of foreign body ingestion such as SAP, which may not be obvious at the initial presentation. The studyreports two such children, outlining the presentation and management. Key Words: Children, Intestinal obstruction, Foreign body, Health hazard, Bilious vomit, Super absorbent polymer beads.
