Abstract
|

|
Foreign bodies in the upper airway and the esophagus are common and often removed in the outpatient setting using the rigid or flexible laryngoscope. Although most esophageal foreign bodies are removed from the digestive tract, in some cases, surgical intervention is required due to its difficult location. Esophageal foreign bodies often removed by esophagogastroduo- denoscopy, but when they penetrate the esophagus and move to deep neck spaces, other ap- proaches should be taken into consideration. We report a rare case of a 13-year-old patient whose esophageal foreign body moved to a deep neck compartment, which was embedded in the an- terior vertebral muscle. We decided to perform neck exploration under C-arm guidance, suc- cessfully targeted and removed the foreign body.
