| Popis: |
Ingestion of foreign body has often no consequence. We report on a case in an 11-month-old girl who was referred for mild hematemesis and anorexia. Upper digestive tract endoscopy found a small metallic foreign body in the gastric antrum. After its removal, all symptoms disappeared. It is usually recommended to remove foreign bodies by endoscopy when they are in esophageal position, or are more than 3 to 5 cm long, or have a shape that may hurt the gut mucosa. Although rare, a gastric foreign body should be searched for in face of an upper gastrointestinal bleeding in an infant. |
