AB  - Approximately  80%  of  all  foreign  body  ingestions  occur  in  children,  with  the  peak  incidence  between  6  and  36  months  of  age.1,2,3  Coins  are  the  most  frequently  ingested  object  in  young  children.  Food  impactions  are  less  common  and,  when  seen,  are  more  likely  to  be  associated  with  an  underlying  esophageal  disorder,  such  as  eosinophilic  esophagitis.  Of  those  foreign  body  ingestions  that  come  to  medical  attention,  80%  to  90%  will  pass  spontaneously  through  the  gastrointestinal  tract,  another  10%  to  20%  will  require  endoscopic  removal,  and  fewer  then  1%  ultimately  require  surgery.4  Any  history  of  possible  foreign  body  ingestion  requires  immediate  attention,  as  outlined  in  Figure  395-1.  Foreign  body  aspiration  is  disussed  in  Chapter  118.
