Honghong (pseudonym), a 5-year-old girl from Baoding, accidentally ate a coin while playing at home and was urgently referred to The Children's Hospital of Hebei Province. After being admitted to the hospital to take an X-ray of the abdomen, the doctor made a bigger discovery: the image suggested that there was a foreign body like a "necklace" in the abdominal cavity, which turned out to be a magnetic bead after analysis! The doctor judged that the beads had been in the abdominal cavity for half a year, and the parents were unaware of this. Magnetic beads are distributed in different positions of the duodenum and small intestine, and the super magnetic force makes the intestines in different positions squeeze and rub against each other, eventually causing perforation to be adsorbed together.
A "battle" unfolds in the operating room, how to make small incisions, small trauma, less guilty children, but also to make the magnetic beads take out without omission, these problems are placed in front of the medical staff. The intraoperative radiologist assisted in the search, did not let go of a cunning magnetic bead, after everyone's joint efforts, finally 27 magnetic beads and 1 coin were completely removed, and 9 perforated intestinal walls were repaired. At present, the child has been successfully discharged from the hospital.

According to incomplete statistics, in the past year, Hebei Children's Hospital has received hundreds of cases of foreign bodies of different styles and different parts. Although most small foreign bodies in the digestive tract can be discharged on their own, magnetic beads are extremely dangerous! Once two or more magnetic beads enter the intestine, they will closely adhere to the intestinal wall, causing ischemia and necrosis of the intestinal wall, and even perforation, peritonitis, sepsis, etc., which can be life-threatening when severe. Experts remind that magnetic beads are a kind of decompression educational toy suitable for children over 14 years old and adults to play, parents are best to avoid contact with young children, once the mistake occurs, be sure to seek medical treatment in time, and pay attention to the child's situation, must not be taken lightly.
