Uncommon cause for ileocolic fistulation and caecal perforation following multiple magnet ingestion in an adult

Non-accidental ingestion of foreign bodies rarely occurs in adults. We report a case of multiple magnet ingestion in an adult with learning difficulties to highlight the associated abdominal complications.
