A 4-year-old boy presented with chief complaint of swallowing a
marble 10
hours before being admitted to the hospital. Radiologic
examination of
the thorax revealed an opacity of metallic density, round-shaped
with a
smooth edge and diameter of approximately 1.3 cm projecting at
the level
of 6th-7th cervical vertebrae. Esophageal foreign bodies are
usually
removed using rigid esophagoscopy. However, foreign bodies that
are hard,
smooth or round in shape will be more difficult to treat. The
tools
prepared are modified hooks with two different curvatures and
forceps.
Esophagoscopy was performed under general anesthesia, and with a
telescope-assisted esophagoscopy, a marble foreign body was seen
surrounded by edematous and hyperemic esophageal mucosa at
cricopharynx
area. The modification hook that has been prepared was inserted
beyond
the marble and pulled outward slowly but the marble fell into the
hypopharynx before exiting through the mouth with the
esophagoscope. The
hypopharynx and nasopharynx were evaluated until the marble was
found in
the nasopharyngeal area, then the marble was removed using
Magill
forcep. |
