Foreign bodies of the esophagus and tracheobronchus are likely to occur whenever a. child places an inedible object in the mouth and are common in the older age group< particularly in edentulous individuals or preexisting disease.
Our department had already reported the statistical survey at first in 1954, successively in 1962, 1963 and 1968, respectively according to the age, sex, variety of foreign bodies,. location and duration of the lodgement.
Now´ we have experienced the: new 186 cases during the consecutive 5 year period from_ January 1973 to December 19.77 and reported as a 5th report comparing with previous reports.
The results were as follows
1. In the incidence of forrign bodies, coins were the most common and pointed metal piece, disc, bony fragment were followed in order ~,i the esophagus, while in the air way passage the peanut and corn´.were common. "
2. In the sexual incidence of foreign bodies blocking esophagus., male was 56.4% (79, cases) . and female was 43.0/6 (61 cases) ,Which was not a significant . difference" to ote. But in air way, male accounted for 71:7% 0-3 cases) compared to 29.3%-(13 cases) for- female.. In this cases there was a great difference to note.
3. In´ the aspect of age incidence, child under 10 years accounted for almost all accidents in esophagus as well as airways. .
4. In the location of the foreign bodies in the food passage,. the first esophageal narrowing-was the most common, while in airway right bronchus had a high incidence but the: difference of incidence between the the right and left bronchus was not remarkable.
