“…Various reasons for this event can be pointed out, stressing that all the characteristics such as Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg (Apr-Jun 2014) 66(2):135-141 137 sex, age, socioeconomic level and parents' influence are closely interrelated [7]. The leading factors to the injuries caused by FB in aerodigestive tract include children's behaviour, anatomical characteristics, and physiological features such as immature swallowing coordination, development of chewing capacity, and higher respiratory rates [8]. In the teen years concomitant psychiatric problems, mental disturbances and risk taking behaviours may lead to foreign body ingestion.…”

Foreign bodies in aerodigestive tract are frequent occurrence and may lead to life threatening situation due to obstruction caused in respiratory passages. To present foreign body ingestion cases observed in a 5-year period at the S.S. Medical College and G.M. Hospital, Rewa (MP). The present study is a retrospective analysis including 108 patients of foreign bodies of aerodigestive tract of Vindhya region who presented to the S.S. Medical College and G.M. Hospital, Rewa from January 2008 to August 2012. About 92 patients of total 108 patients had evidence of foreign body in food passage with age ranging from 9 month to 85 years. Most patients 65 (70.65 %) belong to \10 year age group. Radiological evidence was found in 76 (82.6 %) patients. Most common foreign body was found to be coin 75 (81.52 %). The commonest site of lodgement was cricopharynx. About 16 patients of total 108 patients had evidence of foreign body in airway with age ranging from 9 months to 72 years. Most cases 8 (50 %) belong to \10 year age. Maximum cases showed vegetative foreign body with right bronchus (58.33 %) as commonest site of lodgement. Early detection by meticulous history, imaging modality and prompt management remains basis for favourable outcome and prevents future complications.

“…The most commonly ingested foreign bodies are fi sh and chicken bones and there is an apparent predominance of certain types in specifi c groups of patients [9], e.g. coins and toys in children, razor blades and cutlery in prisoners [10]. Our case report highlights the peculiar route taken by the shrapnel foreign body, through the open oral cavity to the hypopharynx, a route we think have not been reported before.…”

“…Soon after, this simple technique has been widely used. Because of no need for anesthesia, removal of blunt esophageal foreign bodies by this method has become a relatively common problem shared by radiologists, pediatric surgeons, otolaryngologists, emergency department physicians, and gastroenterologists [1]. In real practice, certain modifications were made by some scholars, like inserting the catheter transorally, replacing contrast media with saline water or air, and performing the procedure without fluoroscopy [5][6][7][8].…”

“…So, before esophagascopic examination, it is very important to have another chest roentgenograms to see if the object moved or passed to the stomach. In up to 16% patients, the foreign body will advance into the stomach; this is not seen as a failure given that safe passage throughout the rest of the alimentary tract can usually be assumed [1].…”

Objective. To discuss the safety and efficacy of Foley catheter removal of blunt pediatric esophageal foreign bodies. Methods. Analyzing our first 17 cases of pediatric esophageal foreign bodies removed by Foley catheter method in respect of the efficacy, removal methods, and complications. We also reviewed related literature and discussed the background, current status, and technical matters that need attention of this method. Results. In three-year period between May 2010 and May 2013, in 16 out of 17 children blunt radiopaque foreign bodies impacted in the esophagus were successfully removed by a Foley catheter. There were no complications. In one patient, the foreign body was advanced into stomach and came out with stool 2 days later. Conclusions. The technique is safe, rapid, and cost-effective procedure and applicable for blunt, flat foreign bodies impacted in the esophagus.
