ABSTRACT
The accidental ingestion of a toothbrush is an extremely rare occurrence, typically involving young women with psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bulimia, or anorexia nervosa. There are no known cases of a swallowed toothbrush being expelled naturally through the rectum. Therefore, prompt extraction of an ingested toothbrush from the gastrointestinal tract using a surgical or endoscopic method is a necessity. Here, we report a case of a psychologically healthy woman ingesting a toothbrush accidentally while cleaning her tongue with the back of the toothbrush. In our report, we document the successful extraction of a toothbrush from the esophagus endoscopically without any complications.
