Ingested foreign bodies (Fb) in children usually pass out in stools without any sequels. However, Fbs like open safety pins, button batteries, and super absorbent polymer (SAP) / jelly toys are associated with complications such as intestinal obstruction, and bowel perforation. Intestinal obstruction in children of uncertain nature should raise a suspicion of foreign body ingestion such as SAP, which may not be obvious at the initial presentation. The study reports two such children, outlining the presentation and management. Key Words: Children, Intestinal obstruction, Foreign body, Health hazard, Bilious vomit, Super absorbent polymer beads.
儿童吞食异物（Foreign bodies，Fb）通常会自行排出而不留下任何后遗症。然而，诸如开口安全别针、纽扣电池和高吸水性聚合物（Super absorbent polymer，SAP）/果冻玩具之类的异物则可能导致并发症，如肠梗阻和肠穿孔。对于性质不明的儿童肠梗阻，应怀疑吞食异物，如 SAP，因为 SAP 可能在初始表现时并不明显。本研究报告了两例此类儿童病例，阐述了其临床表现和处理方法。关键词：儿童、肠梗阻、异物、健康危害、胆汁性呕吐、高吸水性聚合物珠。
