Key Clinical Message:
Clinicians should not only consider the presence of metallic foreign bodies within the digestive tract but also contemplate the possibility of nicotine poisoning during the diagnostic process.
Abstract:
When clinicians encounter cases of accidental ingestion of some types of heated tobacco, they must consider not only nicotine poisoning but also the possibility of a metallic foreign body within the digestive tract during diagnosis. In children, even sharp or relatively large ingested foreign bodies can spontaneously pass below the esophagus. Considering that this 12-mm metal piece is small, natural excretion may be considered rather than endoscopic removal.
