| description | A foreign body (FB) in the upper aerodigestive tract is a common clinical problem that presents as
as acute emergency. Sharp FB, such as fish bone or chicken bone, commonly lodges in the tonsil,
base of tongue, vallecula or pyriform fossa. Dislodgement of a FB into the laryngopharynx is very
rare and specifically onto the vocal cord is extremely uncommon. This case report illustrates a rare
case of a sharp FB that was dislodged into the airway and stuck on to the right vocal cord, which
was removed under local anaesthesia. |
