We report an elderly woman who was diagnosed as toothpick penetrated the jejunal wall and successfully retrieval under DBE.

We figured that DBE is a feasible, safe, and effective treatment when toothpicks penetrate the small intestinal wall without other adverse events based on our presentation.PMID:37732347 | DOI:10.17235/reed.2023.9898/2023
