Background: Pediatric foreign body (FB) injuries to the nasal, aural, and/or oral cavities are well documented. Description of austere foreign body (AFB) injuries involving the rectum, vagina, or penis eludes the current pediatric literature. Austere FBs can be difficult to identify and have the potential to cause serious consequences. We aim to characterize AFB injuries by children and adolescents presenting to emergency departments (EDs) in the United States. Methods:The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System was queried to include subjects aged 0 to 25 years using a primary search term for diagnosis of foreign body from the period of January 2008 to January 2017. The consumer product and the body part involved (ie, rectal, vaginal, penile) were analyzed. Taylor series linearization generated national estimates. A trend analysis was performed using the Cochrane Armitage test of trend.
