Core Tip	Ingestion of a foreign body (FB) is usually treated with observation or endoscopic removal. Less of 1% of FBs can cause an intestinal perforation. Diverticular disease and FB may be associated with pathological processes, including inflammation, perforation, abscess and fistula. The diagnosis of intestinal perforation following the unknown ingestion of a FB is a clinical challenge, first of all because it happens often in patients with intellectual disability or among the psychiatric population and secondly because it is not reported during questioning. Caregivers should be cautious and aware of the cutting of drug blisters.
