English abstract
Foreign body ingestion is one of the most common presenting complaints in the emergency
room. Psychiatric patients that present with an unusual ingested object are frequently
associated with the intention of suicide, especially if they have a history of recurrent
foreign body ingestion. Radiographic films help in locating the site and predicting the
complications. The best method of object retrieval is dependent on many factors and
decisions made for the best of patient safety to minimize expected complications. This is
a case report of a patient who presented with unusual foreign body ingestion.
