Foreign body in esophagus: Case report.
International Journal of Surgery Case Reports 2021 October
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: The ingestion of foreign bodies is a frequent cause of consultation in the emergency department, especially in pediatric and elderly patients.
CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 48-year-old male patient who arrived to the emergency department with dysphagia after food intake. The diagnosis is confirmed by simple neck tomography. After a failed endoscopy, he underwent surgery, with subsequent resolution of the condition.
DISCUSSION: The diagnosis is based on the clinical history, physical examination and is supported by extension studies such as radiography, tomography and/or endoscopy, this last one being also therapeutic.
CONCLUSION: Although in most cases there is a spontaneous passage through the gastrointestinal tract, there is the possibility of requiring endoscopy (reported success greater than 95% of cases) or surgical treatment.
