Ingested foreign bodies which migrate extraluminally, although rare in occurrence, are fraught with the potential to cause life-threatening complications.To discuss the management of this pathology.A series of four patients with such occurrences is presented.A discussion on the safe management of such seemingly innocuous foreign bodies allows the authors to propose a therapeutical algorythm.
