Foreign body ingestion is a common otorhinolaryngological emergency encountered. Most frequently noted are fish bones, which usually get impacted at the level of cricopharynx. However, sometimes few may migrate extraluminally, or even extrude subcutaneously. We present a case of an adult with foreign body ingestion (fish bone) which had migrated and embedded in the left pyriform sinus and larynx, requiring open surgery for removal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
