Removal of Hypopharyngeal Submucosal Forgign Body Using Fluoroscopy

Abstract
|
|
|
A 64-year-old woman visited to our hospital for foreign body sensation of throat and odynophagia following
meal. A neck lateral radiograph revealed a wire-shaped metallic foreign body at the hypopharynx. Although we
investigated the hypopharynx and esophagus throughout using rigied esophagoscope, we couldn't find out it.
Pharyx computed tomography showed the foreign body under the mucosla layer, and it was removed by
submucosal dissection under fluoroscopic control. Repeated trial of rigid esophagoscopy raise the chance of
complications such as esophageal mucosal injury, esophageal perforation, and cervical vertebrae injury. If
foreign body cannot be found out despite repeated trial of rigid esophagoscopy, the possibility of submcosal
migration should be considered. Fluoroscopically guided esophagoscopy is a safe and effective technique for the
removal of submucosal foreign body.
