The accidental ingestion of foreign bodies is a common occurrence but can sometimes lead to serious complications, such as gastrointestinal perforation or abscess formation. We report the case of a patient who presented with diffuse atypical abdominal pain, accompanied by late postprandial vomiting, revealing the presence of a foreign body transfixing the posterosuperior pyloric wall. This condition led to the formation of an abscess in this region, requiring surgical intervention at Mohammed VI University Hospital in Marrakesh. This case highlights the potential risks associated with the ingestion of foreign bodies and underscores the importance of prompt and appropriate management of such complications to avoid serious consequences.
