Case history  A 2-year-old boy presented with history of ingestion of two magnets10 days previously. The child was immediately taken to a pediatrician who confirmed the presence of two magnets in the bowel by X-ray abdomen. The parents were advised to watch for spontaneous expulsion of the magnets. The child remained asymptomatic and hence the parents brought the child 10 days later because the magnets had not yet been expelled...   Keywords: Multiple magnet ingestion<p />",
