Abstract
Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) ingestion is a potentially dangerous condition and may lead to morbidity and mortality. A 22-month-old girl presented with intestinal obstruction. At operation a SAP was found as a cause of intestinal obstruction. The child underwent second surgery for anastomotic leak and ileostomy was made.
