A four-year-old boy's tummy pain turned out to be a rather unusual object lodged in his bowels.
Doctors were bewildered when scans revealed the youngster had a magnetic bracelet trapped inside him after complaining of agonising stomach pains, a journal in the US said.
The child had been taken to hospital in an unknown location after suffering for two days of an aching tummy, as well as vomiting and constipation, which doctors initially suspected could be acute appendicitis - even going so far as to remove his appendix.
