The presence of foreign bodies in the digestive tract usually occurs in pediatric, adolescent and psychiatric patients. Current Protocols focus mainly on pediatricians and adults. We present some cases mainly of feminine age. Most swallowed foreign bodies will harmlessly pass through the GI tract, but some will lead to health problems if they become lodged (too big to pass, such as a spoon, or small objects like a pill that adheres to a moist surface); traumatize the mucosa (sharp or pointed object, like a razor blade or pin), or cause burn-like illness (biologically active, such as a button battery or a medication patch) may cause problems. which during X-Ray abdominal exfoliation show varying objects in the digestive tract at different levels. The following examinations highlighted the most accurate localization. Asymptomatic clinical data continued to deteriorate, despite imaging evidence. This article discusses the challenges involved in the management of foreign troops in the digestive tract and the re-evaluation of literature
