METHODS: A
department because of hijab pin ingestion between 2007 and 2018. Comparison was
performed between impaled and nonimpaled pins.
RESULTS: We reviewed 1558 foreign-body ingestion cases. Of these, 208 (13.3%) patients
presented because of hijab pin ingestion, with a total of 225 ingested pins. The mean patient
age was 14.7 6 4.1 years, and 88% of patients were girls. Time from ingestion to presentation
was 24 6 49.5 hours. Most pins were located in the stomach (46.6%), and 18.6% of all pins
were impaled. Location in the stomach (odds ratio = 4.3 [95% confidence interval: 1.9–9.2];
P , .001) and abdominal tenderness on examination (odds ratio = 2.7 [95% confidence
interval: 1.3–5.6]; P = .007) were strong independent risk factors for an impaled pin. Time to
intervention was 22.9 hours, and 41 endoscopies were performed. One patient required
laparoscopic surgery. No complications were observed.
CONCLUSIONS: The hijab pin is an increasingly encountered foreign body in pediatric practice. Its
specific clinical features distinguish it from other sharp objects. A delayed interventional
approach in selected patients does not carry a higher risk of complications and results in
significantly fewer interventions compared to existing guidelines. These findings will help
guide pediatric specialists in this prevalent clinical scenario. Management recommendations
are proposed.
