Foreign body ingestion in children is a challenging clinical scenario.Children may be completely asymptomatic or present with overt symptoms, including drooling, dysphagia, chest pain and feeding refusal. [1][2][3] The majority of ingested foreign bodies passes spontaneously along the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and causes no harm nor symptoms. Nevertheless, in some circumstances foreign bodies may cause important morbidity or even mortality, due to GI bleeding, ulceration, perforation, mediastinitis, peritonitis, abscess or fistula formation. Moreover, in case of vomiting, foreign bodies may also be inhaled, causing airway obstruction. 3
