Spherical foreign bodies are particularly challenging to retrieve, as they offer no edges or surfaces on which to gain purchase. The case of a 2-year-old girl who ingested a large glass garden pebble is presented, and its removal using Lowinger probe outlined. The Lowinger probe is a useful aid in the removal of ingested spherical foreign bodies.
