Foreign bodies (FB) in the aerodigestive tract are common, especially in children. The type of foreign body in the esophagus can vary and include magnets. A magnet that lodges in the esophagus should be extracted within 24 hours to prevent complications due to associated chemical reactions. In rural areas, there are several limitations to extracting FBs from the esophagus. We report a case of a magnetic FB that lodged in the esophagus of a three-year-old boy. The extraction was successfully done by esophagoscopy with the modification of a hook that was attached to the endoscope. This innovation may help physician all over the world, especially in rural areas. In the future, this innovation could be produced on an industrial scale.
异物（FB）在呼吸道和消化道中很常见，尤其是在儿童中。食道中的异物类型可能有所不同，包括磁铁。为了防止由于相关化学反应引起的并发症，应在 24 小时内取出嵌顿在食道中的磁铁。在农村地区，从食道中取出异物存在多种限制。我们报告了一个三岁男孩食道中嵌顿的磁性 FB 病例。通过对连接在内窥镜末端的钩子进行改进，成功地通过食管镜取出了 FB。这一创新可能有助于世界各地的医生，尤其是农村地区的医生。未来，这项创新可以进行工业化生产。
