Özet
Foreign body ingestion is a common problem in pediatric population with a peak incidence between 6 months and 6 years. adolescents, however, are more likely to swallow or insert foreign bodies intentionally as a risk-taking behavior, a bid for attention, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. in this paper we report the case of an adolescent girl who accidentally ingested a pen, which was successfully removed with endoscopy.
