Introduction: Foreign body ingestion usually occurs accidentally and is a common condition in childhood, but it is rarely seen in adults and is frequently encountered in people with mental retardation and psychiatric disease. The outcome is usually defecation of the ingested materials but rarely requires surgical intervention.Case Report: A 33-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency department with the complaint of constipation as a result of swallowing about 1000 plastic buttons yesterday. His acute mechanical intestinal obstruction was alleviated with conservative treatment and the patient discharged with recommendations. Conclusion:The number, shape, size, and time of ingestion determine the mode of treatment. There are three main principles in treatment. Endoscopic retraction, conservative follow-up and surgical intervention. Also, tomography should be considered as an option for foreign bodies that can not be visualized with direct radiography.
