Open-access Intestinal fistula after magnets ingestion

AuthorshipSCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

    Abstracts

    Accidental ingestion of magnetic foreign bodies has become more common due to increased availability of objects and toys with magnetic elements. The majority of them traverse the gastrointestinal system spontaneously without complication. However, ingestion of multiple magnets may require surgical resolution. The case of an 18-month girl who developed an intestinal fistula after ingestion of two magnets is reported.
