Foreign body ingestion is a common problem in the pediatric population. The majority of cases occur between 6 months and 3 years of age. Major complications, including bowel perforation and obstruction, have been reported. Forty percent of ingested foreign bodies are unwitnessed, and in fact, many are asymptomatic. We report the case of a 2-year-old girl who was referred to King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (KFSH&RC) with suspected congenital esophageal stenosis. Upon investigation, she was diagnosed with intramural esophageal foreign body. |
