N2  - Clinicians should make patients and their families aware of the risks associated with ingesting multiple magnets or magnets along with metallic objects. Significant morbidity and even mortality have been associated with magnet ingestion in children due to magnetic attraction, which can lead to volvulus, perforation, and fistula formation. Underlying psychosocial, psychiatric, and developmental risk factors have been noted in many children with a history of foreign body ingestion, and such risk factors should be screened for at presentation.
