Foreign body ingestion is common in the pediatric age group. Swallowed foreign objects show different features, especially coins, small toys and toy parts, magnets, and batteries. Coins are the most frequently swallowed foreign objects, followed by toys and toy parts. Magnets are mostly found in toys and other products. Swallowing single magnet does not often cause complications but swallowing multiple magnets or magnets attached to a metal objects could pull the intestinal walls together and cause volvulus, fistulas, and peritonitis. Medical diagnostic display techniques play an important role in cases of foreign body aspiration and swallowing observed in children. In foreign body ingestion, the main goals are rapid identification and positioning for an effective treatment. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are critical for the immediate removal of swallowed objects. Highly adhered treatments may have a high risk of mortality and morbidity. Here, we present a case of a five-year old girl who was brought to the pediatric emergency department with a suspicion of ingesting foreign objects.
