Aim

: Children frequently ingest whatever they find out

near them however, the ingestion of other items has been

subject to less academic study. Parental concern regarding

ingestion applies across a range of materials. In this study,

we aimed to determine typical transit times for another

commonly swallowed object: a coin and a ring.

Methods

: A 6 years old child girl came to the ER with her

mother , last Sunday, after eating a coin and a ring which

the child find on the table desk in the dining room, presents

with abdominal pain and vomits Previous gastrointestinal

surgery, inability to ingest foreign objects and aversion to

searching through faecal matter were all exclusion criteria.

Results

: We asked for a thorax X Ray urgently, because she

started with difficult to breath, tachypnea, paleness and we

found the two foreign objects as you can see in the imagen.

After talking with the Pediatrics General Surgeons, due to

the size of both items, we decided to take them out from

the mouth, after sedation with drugs and dosage according

to her age and size successfully, but in a very difficult way;

we ´re worried about how the objects can pass thorough

the snifters, but we get it. It´s not the first time she ingests

something nothing to do with food, so we suggested her to

be evaluated by the Phsiquiatric team.

Conclusions

: A toy object quickly passes through adult

subjects with no complications. This will reassure parents,

and the authors advocate that no parent should be

expected to search through their child's faeces to prove

object retrieval.
