Abstract

Foreign body (FB) ingestion is a common situation which we are dealing nowdays. We presented as case of nail ingestion by a 19 year-old young gentleman. Urgent endoscopy procedure shows high successful rate in retrieving the FBs, but surgical approach is justified in case of failed endoscopic removal of sharp FBs like nails to prevent intestinal perforation and other complications due to unpredictable migration of FBs.
