Gastrojejunal Fistula with Jejunal Rotation Caused by Two Ingested Magnets in a Child: A Case Report

common clinical situation, the case of single or multiple magnet ingestion is rare (1-8). An ingested small magnet with a smooth margin tends to be evacuated spontaneously (1, 5). However, when multiple magnets are ingested and they are separated into groups, they may lie in adjacent bowel loops within the range of each other’s magnetic force, and so they attract each other across the bowel walls, leading to pressure erosion or necrosis, perforation, fistula formation, adhesion, and intestinal obstruction including volvulus, peritonitis and etc (1, 2, 68). We report here a case of gastrojejunal fistula and jejunal rotation that was caused by two ingested magnets in a 5-year-old girl, and we include the findings of the simple abdomen radiography, a small bowel series and CT (computed tomography).
