Toothbrush ingestion by bulimics may require laparotomy.

D T Wilcox1, H L Karamanoukian, P L Glick.   

Abstract

Two girls accidentally swallowed their toothbrush while inducing emesis; both had bulimia. Early removal of the brush is advised to prevent complications. Endoscopic removal is the preferred method, but because of the toothbrush's geometric qualities, surgical retrieval is often required.
