Ingested Foreign Bodies Can Cause Appendicitis and Perforation: A Multi-Institutional Case Series

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Hair and plant materials were the most common foreign objects found in the appendix; they often cause mucosal damage and giant cell reaction. Metallic objects were less common. Although appendicular foreign bodies in children are rare and sometimes asymptomatic, they may lead to perforation.
