Foreign body ingestion in children is common. Most items pass spontaneously, however rarer cases may result in obstruction and or perforation. Ingestion of multiple magnetic items can be more troublesome, as a consequence of the ability of the items to attract across different sections of bowel, or by coalescing to form a larger foreign body. Very few cases of foreign body ingestion have led to the presentation of a complicated Meckel's diverticulum. We present of a case of an adolescent boy with intestinal obstruction secondary to multiple magnetic foreign body ingestion and sequestration within a Meckel's diverticulum.
