Abstract

Ingestion of foreign body is a relatively common clinical scenario with variable presentations. Majority of the swallowed objects will pass spontaneously but serious complications such as obstruction, bowel perforation or hemorrhage can occur. These risks are dependent on location and type of the object. Radiographic demonstration and definition of the foreign body may be useful to determine appropriate management and follow up of the patient. Metal foreign objects are heavily researched in the literature. However, reports on padlock ingestion specifically are rare. We document a case of accidental ingestion of padlock presenting with respiratory distress. It emphasizes the importance of high index of suspicion and the role of plain radiograph in the management of such patient.

Key Words
