Popis: | Purpose/Background: The ingestion or accidental insertion of foreign bodies is extremely rare before 6 months of age. We report the case of a 3-month-old infant with a sewing needle into the right hepatic lobe, without symptoms. The extraction was performed through laparotomy. The issue is revisited, and the decision making tree is discussed. |
