Abstract
Foreign body ingestion is a common complaint in the pediatric emergency department. Here, we report an interesting case of a coin ingestion in which the radiographic findings were alarming and inconsistent with the history provided by our patient. A brief review of the diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal foreign bodies is presented, with particular focus on ingested coins and button batteries.Entities:
