Ingested Sharp Foreign Body Pin in the Oesophagus- A Clinical Case note

Abstract

Foreign body pin in the Oesophagus usually occurs in mentally challenged people or
accidentally and is a very occurrence in emergency. Rarity, technical difficulty in removing the
foreign body, complications associated with the delay in diagnosis and treatment, migration of
the foreign body extraluminally and site, shape and position of the sharp end makes this entity
interesting and worth reporting.
We report a mentally sound adult male who had accidental ingestion of sharp foreign
body pin which migrated very early extraluminally that lead to a negative oesophagoscopy, and
necessitated external removal.
