An abdominal X-ray examination was performed to assess the presence or absence of ileus and revealed a 10 mm large non-sharp object in the lower abdomen (Figure 1).
(a) Enlarged image of foreign body. It seems that 3 objects stuck together. (b) Indentation at the end of ileum. (c) Three strongly stuck magnets existed in the ileal peritoneum (within white circle).

By expanding X-ray (Figure 2a), the FB was presumed to be multiple magnets. However, in the near-end of the ileum, there was an indentation, which seemed a diverticulum with redness and ulcer (Figure 2b). The periphery of the perforated portion was trimmed, and the entire layer was sutured (Figure 2c).
