“…It's commonly seen in children since they are curious to explore environmental objects with their mouth in spite of insufficient airway protection reflexes, and immature development of chewing capacity [1] . The majority of those children are under age of five years old [2] . Early recognition of foreign bodies is essential to prevent serious problems such as atelectasis, pneumonia and bronchiectasis or even asphyxia and death [3] .…”

Background: Aerodigestive foreign bodies are common clinical problem that may lead to life threatening complications or sudden death. It's commonly seen in children since they are curious to explore environmental objects with their mouth, while the development of airway protection reflexes and chewing capacity are immature. Objectives: This study aims to assess the extent of parents' awareness about the danger of foreign objects that can be swallowed or inhaled by their children and how to manage such cases. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was used to assess the level of parents' awareness about the danger of swallowing or inhaling foreign objects by their children and to assess their knowledge about dealings with such cases. The data were collected from 459 by a distributed questionnaire among parents in Al-sharqiya. Results: 60.3% of participants were aware of aerodigestive foreign bodies.Regarding the management of child with aerodigestive foreign bodies in different age groups. For child with age group 1 year and less, about (34.9%) of participants were aware of the managment. However, there is misunderstanding of managing child with age 5 years and less where only 5.6% of participants were aware of the management in this age group. As regards the children more than 5 years old, only 36.2% of parents were aware of the management. Conclusion: The current study showed that most parents are lacking knowledge about the managment of this problem which reflect the importance of education and increasing the awareness among them to reduce the morbidly and mortality rate among children.

Background: Patients with foreign bodies in upper digestive tract not infrequently trigger many diagnostic and treatment challenges, especially when foreign bodies translocate and are lodged outside the esophagus. Case report: We present a case of a foreign body in esophagus 56-years old woman who had developed persistent sensation of an obstacle in her throat after eating fish (Atlantic cod). She has initially dismissed her symptoms and refused medical treatment. Subsequently, a neck CT done one week later showed a 20-milimeter long fish bone in the soft tissues on the left side of her neck (between pharynx and vertebral column). Few attempts of endoscopic removal were unsuccessful. Despite antibiotic prophylaxis and due to the fish bone translocation into soft tissues of the neck and its location close to a common carotid artery and an internal jugular vein a decision was made to remove it from the external approach. The foreign body was successfully removed without any esophageal damages. Conclusions: Foreign bodies in digestive tract may result in many life-threatening complications. The fundamental management is based on the endoscopic removal of a foreign body and the antibiotic prophylaxis. In case of foreign bodies lodged in soft tissues open surgery is recommended. Key words: foreign body in the esophagus; fish bone; paraesophageal abscess ; treatment

Introduction: Foreign body is any object in a region it is not meant to be, where it can cause harm if immediate medical attention is not sought. Its removal by surgical procedure is one of the commonest surgeries done. The objective is to find out prevalence of the patients who underwent operation for foreign bodies obstruction in food passage in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery in a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among patients operated in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery of a tertiary care center from August 2014 to May 2017. Ethical approval was received from the Institutional Review Committee of the Institute. Convenience sampling method was used. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences was used for analysis. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binary data. Results: Out of total 700 patients having operation in department, 115 (16.42%) (95% Confidence Interval = 13.67–19.16) had operation for foreign body obstruction in the food passage. Among 115 patients, 62 (53.90%) were males and 53 (46.10%) were females. Most common foreign bodies ingested in children was coin 17 (14.78%) and bone chips 40 (34.78%) in adults. Cricopharynx 90 (78.26%) is the commonest site for foreign body lodgement. Conclusions: Prevalence of the patients who underwent operation for foreign bodies obstruction in food passage in a tertiary care hospital is high. Their removal by rigid oesophagoscopy is one of the commonest surgical procedures done in tertiary care center.
