Foreign Body Ingestion
Vol. 20 No. 2 : 2025 (834-837)
Abstract
Foreign body ingestion is common among the pediatric population but is quite rare in adults, except in certain patient groups, where it is often successfully managed conservatively. We reported a case of foreign body ingestion in a 32-year-old psychiatric patient that was successfully managed using both endoscopic and non-operative methods. This case highlighted the importance of appropriate case selection for conservative or endoscopic management and discussed the criteria for operative intervention.
