KUB X-ray of pelvis of a 13 year old girl who ingested four high powered rare earth magnet balls and required emergency surgery for removal. Four round metallic foreign body densities are identified in mid pelvis conforming to small bowel loops. Popular high-powered Buckyballs, Buckycubes and Zen magnet desk toys can cause obstructions, ulcers and holes in the stomach, intestines, or throat which may require multiple emergency surgeries and lengthy hospitalizations. | |
