Core Tip	We present the longest case of asymptomatic video capsule retention in the literature. With our case we would like to highlight that asymptomatic video capsule retention is not an indication for surgical retrieval. Capsule can retain for long time without harm. Surgical retrieval should be reserved for those patients in whom the expectant management, medical management and endoscopic therapy fails or in patients who are symptomatic with intestinal obstruction or perforation.
