| description | Foreign body ingestion is a most frequent clinical
emergency requiring quick action to ensure speedy recovery
and minimize the complications. At times, if foreign bodies are
sharp, they can pierce the wall of pharynx, oesophagus and
may appear extraluminally either in the wall or in the soft
tissues of neck. Migrated foreign bodies are very rare but may
result in life threatening suppurative or vascular complications.
Hence removal at the earliest is essential. We present a rare
case of one month old neglected migrated foreign body in the
left side of the anterior neck which was removed successfully
by neck exploration. |
