Zusammenfassung:Swallowing of a foreign object is the second most common endoscopic emergency after gastrointestinal bleeding. We aimed to report a case of razor blade swallowing that presented with abdominal pain. A 33-year-old man was brought to the emergency department by his relatives with the complaint of abdominal pain that had started after swallowing a razor blade 1 day earlier. His past history was notable for schizoaffective disorder. A plain abdominal radiogram showed multiple appearances consistent with metallic, shiny foreign objects (razor blade) at multiple levels.
