Abstract

Foreign-body ingestion is relatively common in the pediatric population and most objects pass through the gastrointestinal tract with minimal complications. Swallowing more than one magnet is not uncommon worldwide and it frequently leads to serious consequences. We report a case of a 4-year-old boy who had accidentally swallowed two magnets which were passed spontaneously without any sequelae.
