“…The migration is triggered by contraction of neck muscles and viscera and does not always follow anatomical planes. 2 Foreign bodies in the neck spaces sometimes can even cause retropharyngeal abscess, thyroid abscess and neck lumps. More catastrophic complications are carotid artery and jugular vein lacerations.…”

“…The most common places where FB are found are the palatine tonsils, vallecula and piriform sinuses; however, FB can, although rarely, migrate to deep neck spaces, like the parapharyngeal space. 2 This case presents migration of a factitious foreign body to the Parapharyngeal Space (PPS).…”

Foreign body removal is a common procedure in Otorhinolaryngological (ORL) practice. It may affect adults as well as children, the nature of the Foreign body varies depending on the situation , for adult it is generally swallowed Foreign Bodies seen in the palatine , piriform sinus and vallecula but for children its due to playground accidents multiple location are possible with varying symptoms depending on the location otorrhea being an unusual symptom. Nevertheless, the parapharyngeal space remains a rare location with the possibility of migration to deep neck spaces2, presenting a danger to the vascular and nervous structure in the region, which presents a challenge during the extraction procedure .

Background: Foreign bodies in the upper aerodigestive tract represent an uncommon cause of visits to emergency departments. In the majority of cases, foreign bodies do not go beyond the pharynx. They cause dyspnoea or pneumonia if they reach the tracheo-bronchial tree. If ingested, they will pass spontaneously through the gastrointestinal canal in the majority of cases. Nevertheless, especially in case of sharp-pointed or large objects, the foreign bodies can stop in the oesophagus. In case of dysphagia, stinging sensation and/or odynophagia occurring after eating a meal, a foreign body in the upper aerodigestive tract should be suspected. If not clinically visible, imaging is required. Case presentation: A 72-year-old woman presented to the Emergency Department with pharyngodynia, odynophagia, stinging, dysphagia, and sialorrhea for 12 hours. Her symptoms started after eating a meal with meat. The patient underwent a standard two-projection radiogram of the neck. The antero-posterior projection radiogram was unremarkable. The lateral projection radiogram showed 16 millimetres in maximum length radiopaque foreign body within the cervical oesophagus. The patient underwent transoral flexible oesophagoscopy under general anaesthesia, with successful removal of the foreign body (bony fragment). Her symptoms improved rapidly after the procedure, and the patient was discharged after 48 hours in good health. Conclusion: A foreign body in the cervical oesophagus may lead to visceral perforation. Once suspected, every effort should be made to identify and remove the foreign body to avoid potentially catastrophic consequences. In some cases, imaging could be necessary to detect the foreign body.
