AB - Foreign body ingestion may do not have any sign and symptoms and cause no complication [1]. In some
cases, it can cause gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation or obstruction [1]. Many of foreign bodies can pass
through gastrointestinal tract without any signs, symptoms and complications [2]. Foreign body is more
common in male population and male to female ratio is reported nearly 1.5/1 in some investigations [3]. In
this case presentation we will explain signs and symptoms of a 6-year-old boy who had swallowed a
telescopic antenna when it was closed and it produced abdominal pain after opening in gastrointestinal tract
due to peristaltic movement. Abdominal pain had been introduced in forward bending position. At the time
of operation, we found a metal telescopic antenna in the duodenum which was removed by duodenotomy.
