The product, in the report: Light in the Box 4mm neomydium magnet
12 YOM presented to ED with bilious emesis and abdominal pain. Reported swallowing magnets (Light in the Box- 4mm cube nyomidium magnets). EGD with 9 magnets stuck together in a block unable to remove. Had an ex lap and part of the small bowel was adhering to the stomach magnets. these were detached and the endoscopist was able to remove the 9 magnets in the stomach. The last magnet was left in the jejunum to pass on it’s own. The patient admitted that he had swallowed the 10th magnet a couple of days earlier. Unfortunately the 10th magnet failed to progress and as it was questioned whether he might have swallowed an 11th magnet, he had an enterotomy for removal of the magnet. he was discharged the next day.
