Magnets and children: a dangerous combination
CONCLUSION: Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets is rare but can create a life-threatening situation in children. If the magnets are still in the stomach, endoscopic retrieval is needed. If they are beyond the stomach, in asymptomatic cases close clinical and radiographic vigilance is mandatory. When symptomatic we advise urgent removal. If treated on time, the surgical outcome is good and fast recovery is expected.PMID:37259806 | DOI:10.1080/00015458.2023.2219086 (Source: Acta Chirurgica Belgica)
