Ingestion of foreign bodies (FB) is one of the most observed domestic accidents and a frequent reason for consultation in pediatric emergency departments (PED). In the United States, nearly 100,000 ingestions of FB have been recorded by the National Poison Data System (NPDS), which represented the 4th cause of intoxication in 2015. Ingestion of FB involves very different mechanisms in children and adult patients. Unlike adults, 98% of FB ingestions in children are accidental and involve common objects found at home environment. Ingested FBs are of many types and vary depending on the object composition of the child's environment and supervision. The lockdown for COVID-19 pandemic highly modified children environment and parent supervision. Children remained at home and parents lived at home for teleworking. In this study, the modifications of children environment that could affect epidemiology of FB ingestion will be evaluated. This is a retrospective study with a sample of around \> 100 children of Louis Mourier hospital from January 1 to December 31, 2019 and from March 1 to May 31, 2020. The total duration of the study is planned for 10 months. Primary outcomes: • To determine the role of COVID-19 pandemic linked containment on the prevalence of FB ingestions in children. Secondary outcomes: * Describe the epidemiological-clinical, radiological, therapeutic and evolutionary characteristics of the FB consultant's ingestions in the emergency department * Determine the frequency of endoscopy or surgery * Determine the factors favoring the use of endoscopic extraction From March 16 to May 10, 2020.
