Abstract
The development of a serious complication of magnetic foreign bodies in a child without clinical manifestations is shown in this aricle. Foreign bodies of the gastrointestinal tract were discovered accidentally during an X-ray examination for another pathology. The duration of exposure to magnetic foreign bodies is unknown. The child's condition remained satisfactory. A fixed location of foreign bodies in the abdominal cavity was revealed, and the child underwent emergency and delayed surgery. The operation revealed a pathologically formed fistula between the lower horizontal branch of the duodenum and the initial section of the jejunum. The fistula was disconnected and the walls of the hollow organs were sutured. The patient was discharged with recovery.
