Foreign Body Ingestion in Children: A 16-year Experience
FB ingestion is common in children. Coins are the most frequently encountered objects, typically located in the esophagus or stomach. An association was observed between the presence of at least one symptom and FBs located in the upper-middle esophagus. Performing endoscopies within 2 hours of FB ingestion is challenging in some cases.
