Single foreign body ingestion is a common scenario that is commonly encountered by gastroenterologists. The symptoms tend to be nonspecific and most of the foreign bodies pass spontaneously. Ingestion of sharp foreign bodies is also not uncommon. It can lead to complications like impaction or perforation. Most of these ingested foreign bodies can be retrieved with endoscopy. We report a 25-year-old patient who underwent successful endoscopic removal of an open safety pin that was ingested accidentally 3 months previously and was impacted at the junction of first and second parts of the duodenum, using a side-view duodenoscope. The presentation of a sharp foreign body without complications which is impacted for 3 months is unusual and its endoscopic extraction without complication is equally uncommon.

Objects become impacted and cause these complications in the small intestines maybe because of its narrower lumen and numerous undulating folds .…”
