A foreign body - in this case a swallowed toothbrush - located in the stomach cavity by using an endoscope.
Specialty
Emergency medicine, gastroenterology
One of the most common locations for a foreign body is the alimentary tract. It is possible for foreign bodies to enter the tract either from the mouth,[1] or from the rectum.[2]
The objects most commonly swallowed by children are coins.[3] Meat impaction, resulting in esophageal food bolus obstruction is more common in adults.[4] Swallowed objects are more likely to lodge in the esophagus or stomach than in the pharynx or duodenum.[5]
