Abstract
Dysphagia is an important symptom, more so in children, of a foreign body in the esophagus. Throat pain, retrosternal pain and foreign body sensation in throat are diffuse symptoms, but in presence of other clinical data, make one suspect a foreign body. Excessive salivation and regurgitation are symptoms of complete esophageal obstruction. Coughing, stridor and other respiratory symptoms may quite often be the only presentation. Hence based on above reported findings the present The present study was planned in Department of ENT, Nalanda Medical College and Hospital Patna, Bihar, India. The study was conducted from April 2018 to September 2018. Total 30 cases of the patients impacted with the Esophageal foreign bodies were enrolled in the present study. Foreign body ingestion is a common problem. The majority of swallowed objects will pass spontaneously. Rigid endoscopy with forceps removal under general anesthesia is preferred method of removing these foreign bodies. No foreign body should be left unattended expecting it to come out spontaneously. Delay in its management can lead to life threatening complications. Prevention is ideal; increasing the public awareness, educating on age appropriate food, industrial standards for toy part sizes would help decrease fatality from choking.
