TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - A case of gastro-colic fistula with peritonitis due to ingested magnets JO - Korean journal of gastrointestinal endoscopy A1 - Cho, Yong-Duck A1 - Chang, Young-Woon A1 - Cho, Chang-Hyun A1 - Hwangbo, Young A1 - Shim, Jaejoon A1 - Jang, Jae-Young A1 - Kim, Hyo-Jong A1 - Kim, Byung-Ho SP - 168 EP - 171 VL - 41 IS - 3 N2 - The ingestion of a foreign body is common in children. But in adults, especially in those who have a mental illness, dysphagia, and consciousness disorders often occur. If a patient ingests more than two magnets, he can develop numerous complications such as bowel necrosis, perforation, and fistula formation. Here we report a case of a 32-year-old patient with gastro-colic fistula and peritonitis following ingestion of multiple magnets. In accidental ingestion of multiple magnets, early exploration should be considered. Keywords: Multiple magnet ingestion
