چکیده

Foreign bodies ingestion is considered as a common pediatric problem, it is mostly encountred in infants between 6months and 2 years. Ingestion of magnets was documented in only few reports. We report two uncommon cases of bowel perforations owing to magnets ingestion. Patients were respectively aged of 10 months and 20 months .they were successfully managed. Once ingested, magnetic objects would attach each other through intestinal wall leading subsequently to intestinal necrosis. Thus their surgical removal is unavoidable.
