N2  - Indoor wounds in infants probably represent widest range of minor lesions. However, there are casualties as consequence of falls, burns and ingestion of foreign bodies. Intestinal rupture dueto ingested magnetic device is a very unusualevent. We report the case of a four-month oldfemale patient with this complication is presented. During first laparotomy intestinal rupture and magnetic buttons of cellular telephone as causalagent was found. Three days after operation, she required a second look due to cecum rupture. Primary reparation was performed. In order todemonstrate a pathogenic hypothesis, the bottomwas put in a porcine bowel segment surrounding for a metallic jail, resulting in bowel rupture. We concluded that the ingested magnetic devices canproduce intestinal rupture.<p />  <p>Language: es</p>
