Abstract

Foreign body ingestion in paediatrics is a common problem with increasing frequency and augmented associated complications in recent years (Speidel AJ et al., BMC Pediatr. 2020 Dec 18;20(1):560). While the vast majority of cases are resolved uneventfully, ingestion of some materials, e. g., sharp objects, multiple magnets, button batteries, and objects with a diameter greater than 2.5 cm, can cause serious problems. (Anderson JE et al., J Pediatr Surg. 2015 Aug;50 (8):1413–4).
