چکیده
INTRODUCTION Magnet ingestion usually does not cause serious complications, but in case of multiple magnet ingestion or ingestion of magnet with other metal it could cause intestinal obstruction, fistula formation or even perforation. CASE REPORT We report case of intestinal obstruction and fistula formation following ingestion of 25 magnets in a 2-year-old girl. Intraoperatively omega shaped intestinal loop with fistula caused by two magnetic balls was found. Intestine trapped with magnetic balls was edematous and inflamed. Resection of intestinal segment was performed, followed by entero-enteric anastomosis. A total of 25 magnets were removed from resected intestine. CONCLUSION Single magnet ingestion is treated as non-magnetic foreign body. Multiple magnet ingestion should be closely monitored and surgical approach could be the best option to prevent or to cure its complications.

common clinical situation, the case of single or multiple magnet ingestion is rare (1-8). An ingested small magnet with a smooth margin tends to be evacuated spontaneously (1, 5). However, when multiple magnets are ingested and they are separated into groups, they may lie in adjacent bowel loops within the range of each other’s magnetic force, and so they attract each other across the bowel wal...
