Foreign body (chicken bone) of the cervical esophagus: Endoscopic removal, case report and review of the literature

Öz

Removal of a foreign body from the esophagus in adults is not an infrequent occurrence. We report the case of a 50-year-old female with a chicken bone lodged in the esophagus, with the complaints of sore throat and difficulty in swallowing. We review the related literature regarding foreign bodies removed from the cervical esophagus. Foreign body in the proximal esophagus can be tightly lodged, and can be overlooked. The foreign body can be removed with gastroscopic forceps.

Servikal özofagusta yabancı cisim (tavuk kemiği): Endoskopla çıkarılması, vaka sunumu ve literatürün gözden geçirilmesi

Öz

Erişkinlerde özofagusa yabancı cisim takılması ve çıkarılması sık görülen bir durum değildir. Tavuk kemiği yutma ve boğaza takılma şikayeti ile müracaat eden 50 yaşında kadın hastada servikal özofagustan yabancı cisim çıkarılmıştır. Proksimal özofagusa yabancı cisim takılabilir, dikkatli değerlendirilmezse gözden kaçabilir. Bunlar gastroskopik yabancı cisim forsepsi ile çıkarılabilir.
