Abstract

Foreign body ingestion is a common problem worldwide, with an estimated incidence of 120 per million. It is responsible for almost 1500 deaths per year. Toddlers are most frequently affected, although rare in conscious and mostly accidental, it is fairly common in psychiatric patients. 10–20% of the patients require endoscopic removal, and approximately 1% will develop perforation. Fish bone may account for 84% of the foreign bodies ingested accidentally, and the majority are eliminated from the gastrointestinal system without any symptoms.
