It’s not a big deal, just screws, nails, spoons, woods, hair, metal chains, and a tooth brush found in her stomach! - This 43-year-old female patient with psychiatric disorders appeared to have had abdominal pain and vomiting for 10 days. It is known that she has a history of foreign body ingestion. "Metalbezoars" are group of findings in the gastrointestinal tract and are composed of a wide variety of materials. After urgent exploration, "nails, pens, spoons, woods, hair, a metal chain and a tooth brush" were extracted from the stomach via gastrotomy.
