The incidence of swalowing magnetic foreign bodies increases in children, often in the form of balls, cubes etc., which are part of toys. These magnets are often small, making it easy to accidentally swallow them. If more than one magnetic foreign body is ingested, serious complications can occur, especially perforation of the gastrointestinal tract.

Keywords: children, foreign body, magnets.
