Abstract

Injuries from cocaine abuse are often seen and have been reported more often with the introduction of crack cocaine. Burns of the upper aerodigestive tract have been reported but no reports of esophageal obstruction have been located. We report ingestion of a foreign body from smoking crack cocaine and our management. A review of other possible aspiration and ingestion injuries is included.
