Multiple foreign bodies (magnetic balls) in the bladder in a 16-year-old teenager

Abstract

BACKGROUND: In the practice of a pediatric urologist, foreign bodies in the bladder and urethra are quite rare. Foreign bodies can be variable in shape, composition, size, and most often enter the bladder via the urethra in the retrograde route.

CLINICAL CASE DESCRIPTION. The above case demonstrates the long-term location of a large number of foreign bodies (60 magnetic balls) in the bladder of a 16-year-old teenager who was treated at N.F. Filatov Children's City Clinical Hospital in December 2022. The authors describe challenges of differential diagnostics and management of this pathology that they faced. The total number of foreign bodies was determined after surgical treatment.

CONCLUSION: This clinical observation is of interest to pediatric urologists and andrologists, since foreign bodies of the bladder is a rare pathology that leads to serious consequences during their long-term location in the organ.
