Accidental ingestion of foreign bodies is rather a frequent entity in the ER, presenting in general as non-specific abdominal pain. The study presents the case of a patient who ingested a wooden toothpick, the handling of which was conservative. Evolution was torpid, requiring emergency surgery given the perforation of the stomach and pancreas.
