Abstract
Swallowing foreign bodies is common in young kids, especially those aged 6 months to 6 years. Magnet ingestion is a hazardous health issue that extremely jeopardizes the most vulnerable group, children, to risks of intestinal obstruction and worse, perforation. We, hereby, report 3 cases of magnet ingestion in the pediatric age group who had multiple beaded magnets stuck inside their GI tract over a variable period of 1 to 10 months before their presentation to the Emergency Department, King Fahad Medical City Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
