Multiple Foreign bodies in the GI tract (4 of 12)
Case description
After reaching the stomach, a foreign body has greater
than a 90% chance of passage. Coins reaching the
stomach are very likely to pass into the small bowel.
Objects larger than 2 cm in diameter are less likely to pass
the pylorus, and objects longer than 6 cm may become
entrapped at either the pylorus or the duodenal sweep.
Objects reaching the small bowel occasionally are impeded
by the ileocecal valve. Rarely, a foreign body may become
entrapped in a Meckel diverticulum.
