N2  - Foreign objects ingestion, either intentionally or accidentally, is a well-known problem in paediatric population. However, it is not uncommonly seen in adult especially in patients with psychiatric disorders and prisoners. We presented a case in which a seventeen year-old young man attended emergency department after attempting suicide by cutting his wrist. Incidentally, he was found to have ingested multiple magnets which stayed in the stomach. Removal by endoscopic method was failed. Surgical removal of a total of thirty-three magnets through a surgical gastrostomy was performed.    Keywords: Multiple magnet ingestion<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
