Abstract:
The ingestion of foreign bodies remains a common occurrence in children. We are reporting a case of a six year old girl presented to us with complaints of pain abdomen for one day. On digital rectal examination multiple gravel particles mixed with stools were felt which were removed. The total number of gravel particles excreted were more than 200, weighing around 1300 grams with largest stone passed being 2.7 cm ×1.8 cm in size.
