“Clinical Profile and Management of Foreign Body Ingestion in Children: A Prospective Observational Study.”

Abstract Background: Foreign body ingestion is a common pediatric emergency and represents a significant proportion of surgical and emergency department visits in children. While most ingested objects pass spontaneously through the gastrointestinal tract, certain foreign bodies may lead to complications requiring endoscopic or surgical intervention.

Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at a tertiary care teaching hospital between December 2023 and December 2025. A total of 40 children aged 3–18 years presenting with a history or suspicion of foreign body ingestion were included. Clinical evaluation and radiological investigations were performed in all cases. Management strategies were decided based on the type, location, and clinical presentation of the foreign body.

Results: The majority of patients belonged to the 5–10-year age group. Coins were the most commonly ingested foreign bodies, followed by hairpins, pen caps, toys, and magnets. Conservative management was successful in most cases. Endoscopic removal was required in one patient, while surgical intervention was necessary in two patients. No mortality or major complications were observed.

Conclusion: Foreign body ingestion is a frequent pediatric emergency that can be managed conservatively in the majority of cases. Early diagnosis and appropriate intervention based on clinical and radiological findings are crucial to prevent complications, particularly in cases involving high-risk foreign bodies.
