Abstract: | Esophageal ingestion of foreign bodies is a frequent urgency. It occurs more commonly in patients with psychiatric disorders, prisoners and extreme ages of the life. Early upper endoscopy is the method of choice for the treatment of symptomatic patients. Surgery is only considered when a complication is present or the extraction can not be done by the endoscopist. We report a case of a 34-year-old male who voluntarily ingested an uncommon foreign body. Surgical treatment was required because of impaction after endoscopic maneuvers and suspicion of esophageal perforation. |
