Clinical Profile, Management Strategies, and Outcomes of Children with Multiple Magnet Ingestion: A Retrospective Case Series

A BSTRACT Multiple magnet ingestion in children can cause severe gastrointestinal injury due to magnetic attraction across the bowel walls. We report three children requiring surgery for obstruction, perforation, and fistula formation. One child had extensive injury despite minimal symptoms. Early imaging, prompt intervention, and intra-operative radiography are crucial to prevent the serious complications.
