The ingestion or aspiration of a foreign body is a common, but preventable occurrence in childhood. Primary healthcare personnel should alert parents to the risk of swallowing a foreign object, the signs and the need for immediate medical attention. It should be emphasized that protecting children from access to objects that can be swallowed or aspirated is the best preventive measure. A case of an eight year old child, who had swallowed a marble ball is presented and the symptoms and intervention discussed. Medical staff should be aware of the symptomatic variation in ingested foreign body presentation and the importance of rapid diagnosis and management.

Esophageal and tracheal foreign body ingestion trigger common pediatric emergencies. In this case report, we describe a pediatric patient with simultaneous tracheal and esophageal obstruction caused by foreign bodies. A child aged 2 years and 1 month swallowed a pair of metallic magnetic beads at the same time; one bead entered the trachea and the other bead entered the esophagus. We suspected that the two magnetic beads were mutually attracted and thus became trapped in their respective lumina. The tracheal foreign body was uneventfully removed; this dislodged the esophageal foreign body, which was then excreted. There were no serious complications in the present case, but parents and medical personnel should be mindful of the potential hazards associated with ingestion of multiple magnetic foreign bodies. A high index of suspicion is appropriate. Investigations must be carefully planned. Treatment should not be delayed; the consequences of delay may be serious.

<p>Foreign bodies of upper aero digestive tract are commonly dealt by an otolaryngologist. We have seen a variety of foreign bodies of esophagus, varying from irritants to non irritants, sharp to big blunt objects which almost always require intervention. An elderly man presented to us with acute onset of dysphagia after ingesting meat. On flexible esophagoscopy, it was found to be an uncommon foreign body of the esophagus which is goat’s eye. We believe this is the first of its kind to be reported in the literature. He had consumed the whole eyeball with the belief that it would improve his vision. Even in today’s era such weird customs and practices prevail in many remote places. Health education should be advocated in target areas to bring about a change in the mindset of people. </p>
