Swallowed denture stuck in the proximal esophagus.
Wiener Medizinische Wochenschrift 2024 April 19
A 72-year-old male with dementia and Parkinson's disease presented at the otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic with acute dysphagia. A chest x‑ray showed a dental prosthesis in the upper esophagus, which was subsequently extracted via rigid esophagoscopy. Due to suspected esophageal perforation on postoperative CT, a cervical approach to the esophagus and flexible esophagoscopy were used, but no evidence of perforation could be identified. This case highlights challenges in managing high-risk esophageal foreign bodies in the upper esophagus, emphasizing the need for careful assessment and a multidisciplinary approach.
