Introduction: Foreign body (FB) ingestion and aspiration is a life-threatening condition which is quite common in children. It is important to diagnose foreign body aspiration early as delay in its recognition and treatment results in high morbidity and mortality. The objective of the present prospective study was to study foreign bodies in aerodigestive tract on the basis of history, examination, and investigation, their incidence, type of foreign body, site of lodgment, common symptoms with which presented, and the nature of the problem in dealing with these patients during the management. Materials and Methods: A total of 86 cases of FB in aerodigestive tract admitted in ENT ward of Bundelkhand Medical and Hospital were included in the study. The symptoms, site and radiographic findings were recorded for each patient. Various procedures were used for removal of various FB at different locations. Majority of these procedures were performed under anesthesia. Results: Of all admitted foreign body cases (86 cases), incidence was more for males (63 cases) than for females (23 cases). Likewise, it was encountered more commonly in the age group of 1-10 years. FB were removed smoothly and successfully in all cases. Overall outcome was excellentwith minimum morbidity and no mortality. According to the site of involvement, hospital stay was varied. Conclusion: In this study, it is evident that FB in aerodigestive tract is a common clinical problem in otorhinolaryngological practice. Although, some presents with serious and life-threatening emergencieswhilemany does not have an immediate problem of airway. Higher incidence of foreign body in children can be prevented by educating the parents about keeping the articleaway from reach of children and observing the activity of the child.

Foreign body impaction in the upper digestive tract poses as an emergency condition to the otorhinolaryngologist as it discomforts the patient's ability to swallow food and water. The main objective of the study was to investigate the incidence, the anatomical site of impaction, the nature of the foreign body, the management and the outcome of foreign body impaction in the upper digestive tract, in Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) between January 2007 and December 2012. This was a cross-sectional retrospective study of cases which was diagnosed and managed as foreign body in the upper digestive tract within this period. The data collected from the clinical records of 1,412 patients was analyzed by using simple proportion and the statistical calculation by SPSS 16.0. Analysis showed male preponderance (61.8%), with an average age of 28.8 ± 1.9 (mean ± standard deviation). The commonest foreign body was bone (fish/meat/ chicken) in (45.7%), followed by coin in (29.6%) and then dentures in (14.3%), etc. Direct laryngoscopy was performed in (63.0%), rigid esophagoscopy under general anaesthesia in (34.0%) and direct clinical removal in (3.0%). 95.8% were successfully removed, (1.5%) were not successfully removed and were referred to the Cardio-Thoracic Unit (CTU). In (2.7%) of the cases the foreign bodies were not visualized and were managed conservatively. Although foreign body impaction in the upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT)was among one of the commonest emergency in ORL practices it can be a major challenge to the otorhinolaryngologist and as such measures need to be taken to prevent such incident. Even though morbidity and mortality due to foreign body ingestion are rare, they may cause serious anxiety and complications in the patients. The upper digestive tract refers to the proximal portion of the digestive tract
