Among the few foreign bodies swallowed, multiple magnets are very rare. Ingestion of Multiple Magnets may lead to a number of dire complications. The present case report is about the ingestion of multiple singing magnets by 4-year-old child leading to intestinal segmental necrosis and perforations.

Ingestion of foreign bodies is a common presenting complaint in the pediatric emergency department. We present a case of a child in whom disc battery ingestion was suspected initially. The immobility of the foreign body on few days of conservative management raised the suspicion of two magnets. At operation, two magnets were found in the bowel causing a transmesenteric entero-enteric fistula.

Ingestion of foreign bodies in the pediatric population is common and magnet ingestion is known to cause a significant morbidity. Rare-earth magnets are small 3-6 mm diameter spherical powerful magnets that are sold as popular desk toys for adults and were previously found in construction toys in attractive colors for children to play with. We describe 2 young healthy children who ingested rare...

Ingestion of nonfood objects, inadvertently or intentionally, is common among young children and also occurs with older children and adolescents. Unless the objects are large or sharp, they usually pass through a child's digestive system without health consequences. However, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has become aware of toy products containing small, powerful rare-earth magn...

ingested corrosive substances produce different injuries, ranging from minor gastro esophageal burns to death, depending on the agent type, amount, concentration, and duration of substance exposure. the purpose of this study was to investigate the outcomes and different causes of mortality in patients ingesting caustic substances. in a prospective study, between april 1999 and january 2006, a t...

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 wal...
