PURPOSE: Foreign body ingestion is a common problem in children. An infrequent ingested item is an open safety pin (SP), which may become lodged in the esophagus and presents the endoscopist a challenge to his surgical judgment and technical skills. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We present 9 cases of infants with open SPs impacted in the esophagus and discuss the different options to treat these cases. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The management of open SP ingestion is discussed, along with a review of the literature regarding this rare condition. |
