“…About 1% of ingested foreign body may eventually need surgical removal; however, there have been only a few cases reported on sigmoidoscopic or colonoscopic retrieval of an impacted object at the gastrointestinal tract in adults and children. In case of disc battery, there have been no reports in children to date [ 3 4 5 ]. If impacted foreign bodies at the gastrointestinal tract be within the scope of endoscopic approaches, colonoscopic removal may be helpful in young children to avoid invasive surgical treatment.…”

Ingestion of foreign body in children is a relatively common problem among paediatric population. The foreign bodies mostly pass spontaneously through the gastrointestinal tract. However, complications can occur according to its anatomical location, the characteristics of the foreign body, and delays in management. Although the cases of ingested button batteries or sharp objects impacted at the gastrointestinal tract can be very serious, there have been very only a few cases have reported colonoscopic removal of these dangerous foreign bodies in adults, and there have been no case reports in children. We report one case of a button battery and one case of an open safety pin, both impacted in the terminal ileum that had moved from the stomach within a few hours of ingestion and were eventually managed by colonoscopy without any complications.
