Résumé
Most cases of foreign body ingestion are managed by observation without the need for endoscopic intervention as these objects are expected to pass spontaneously. However, urgent endoscopy is indicated depending on the type and size of the ingested material to avoid the risk of perforation. We present a case of repeated foreign body ingestion in a patient with a developmental disability and illustrate the importance of patient selection for urgent endoscopy.
