SUMMARYThe sequalae of foreign body ingestion may present in a number of manners and are even more prone to difficulties when a history of foreign body ingestion is not apparent. An 8-year-old boy with a short history of abdominal pain and vomiting presented to the hospital after seeing his general practitioner. He had a history of developmental delay. Examination revealed lower abdominal peritonism and his blood tests revealed elevated inflammatory markers. The patient was initially diagnosed with acute appendicitis and proceeded to theatre. At operation, the patient had a normal appendix but two perforations of the small bowel were incidentally discovered. After theatre, the patient underwent an abdominal X-ray, which revealed a number of radiopaque objects in the rectum. He returned to theatre where a number of metallic objects and a magnet were manually retrieved from the patient's rectum. He made a full recovery and was discharged home a few days later. BACKGROUND

ВВЕДЕНИЕЭндоскопическое исследование -один из наибо-лее информативных методов визуальной диагностики болезней и аномалий развития внутренних органов у детей. Его безопасное и эффективное проведение у пациентов в возрастных категориях от новорожден-ных до подростков требует адекватных медицинских знаний, технического обеспечения и обычно выполняет-ся детским эндоскопистом, обученным по специальной программе подготовки. Однако не всегда эти условия выполнимы, и иногда во взрослой эндоскопической практике возникает необходимость проведения как диагностических, так и лечебных манипуляций у боль-ных детского возраста. Следует отметить, что практиче-ски весь арсенал современных методов внутрипросвет-ного исследования верхнего отдела пищеварительного
