Résumé
Foreign body (FB) ingestion is a common emergency among the pediatric population. They usually pass spontaneously through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In rare cases, it may cause complications because of the impaction. That depends on the type of an FB, its location, the patient's age and the duration of impaction. Colonoscopy as management of FB ingestion in the ileocecal valve (IC) is rare in the medical literature review. Herein, we reported a case of an FB (thin needle-shaped FB 4 cm long) in the IC that was removed from the IC by colonoscopy. Although colonoscopic retrieval of impacted foreign bodies at the GI tract in children has been rarely reported in the literature review, it may be helpful in young children to avoid invasive surgical treatment.
