For months he complained stomach pain which initially seemed inexplicable, but when it was decided to investigate his case further, with specific tests, an incredible discovery came to light: the baby had 52 magnetic balls in her belly toy.
It is the unique story of a 5 year old British boy, Jude Foley, resident of Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales, who finally underwent a emergency surgery which happily solved all the problems.
Little Jude started suffering from severe stomach pains last August, but both the family and GP initially didn’t think it was anything serious.
However, the boy’s stomach pains progressively got worse until the day his mother Lyndsey decided to take him to the emergency room at Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil.
Here he underwent all the necessary clinical examinations and, after an initial physical and blood examination that did not show anything abnormal, the doctors understood from an X-ray of his stomach where the problem was coming from.
In fact, on the slab one can clearly see a stomach collar shape by Judas. It was actually 52 small magnetic balls that he used as a toy to create different trapped shapes, they came together in a ring shape in his intestines.
At this point it was decided to transfer the little patient to a specialist pediatric hospital in Cardiff, where he was operated on to extract all the balls he had ingested. Despite risking permanent consequences, the baby eventually recovered. without major long-term consequences.
Mom believes that Jude didn’t swallow the magnetic balls all at once, but unconsciously, little by little, and now she warns other families not to buy these kinds of toys for the children at Christmas.
