Abstract

Esophagial foreign bodies are mostly located in the sites of the physiological and pathological narrowings. A case of 58 year old patient with profound mental impairment, who swallowed a stone of 3 cm in diameter and a molar tooth has been presented. The treatment and prognosis was complicated by retention of barium contrast in the lungs. The patient underwent the bronchoscopy and double esophagoscopy. Foreign body was successfully removed through external approach (oesophagotomy).
