Abstract:
Children tend to ingest foreign bodies. The majority present in children between the ages of 6 months and 3 years. We experienced 2 cases of unusual gastrointestinal complications caused by ingested foreign bodies. First case was a 10-month-old male with intestinal perforation due to two pieces of ingested magnetic beads. Second case was a 7-month-old girl with esophageal stricture due to an ingested particle of plastic toy.
