“…Foreign body ingestion is an international problem among children starting from fishbone impaction which is more commonly observed in countries where fish is the main dietarysnack 1 to large object that lead to esophageal perforation. 2 Some foreign bodies need urgent removal like button batteries 3 while others remains dormant for years like in this case. At times FB ingestion is intentional and at others it is accidental.…”

A 16 year old patient had ingested two sewing needles about 4.5 cm long accidentally that eventually resided in extra intestinal tract position, and being asymptomatic, she ignored the problem for a long period about 2 years. She only consulted the hospital after having symptoms. The needles were located by Xray imaging and retrieved with the aid of C-arm fluoroscope at a laparotomy. Her postoperative period was uneventful.

“…The volume of literature available for ingested FB that perforate the oesophagus is small, and FB which migrate extraluminally are very rare. [2][3][4][5][6]7 As per Remsen et al, out of 321 cases of penetrating FB, only 43 were found extraluminally. 8 Sharp and long foreign bodies such as needles, wire and bones are most frequently implicated in cases.…”

<p class="abstract">Ingested foreign bodies are medical emergencies that test the clinical acumen and skill of the otolaryngologist. The foreign body may be intra-luminal, intra-mural (penetrating the wall) or extra-luminal. The migration of an ingested foreign bodies extraluminally from the upper aero-digestive tract is a rare occurrence which may be difficult to diagnose and treat. Time is of essence in detection and management of these cases so that life threatening complications can be prevented. We present a case of a 51 years old female patient with a metallic foreign body in the oesophagus which migrated extraluminally. Surgical Exploration via transcervical approach was done to gain access for removal of the foreign body.</p>

“…Flexible endoscopy -Flexible endoscopy is preferred in most circumstances because the foreign body can be directly visualized and manipulated, and the surrounding gastrointestinal tract can be examined for potential complications 1,5,7,14,94,110 . This procedure is performed under conscious sedation or general anesthesia, depending upon the patient's age, ability to cooperate, and the type and number of objects to be removed.…”

The majority of foreign body ingestions occur in children between the ages of six months and three years. Most cases are brought to medical attention by their parents because the ingestion was witnessed or reported to them. Commonly ingested objects include coins, button batteries, toys, toy parts, magnets, safety pins, screws, marbles, bones, and food boluses. Many of the children are asymptomatic or have transient symptoms at the time of the ingestion. A careful history and physical examination are the keystones in diagnosing an esophageal foreign body and to the prevention of its complications. Imaging can be used to confirm the findings and to localize the site of the foreign body. Clinical management focuses on identifying and treating the cases at risk for complications, which depends on the location and type of foreign body. Timing of removal depends on nature of ingested object and signs & symptoms of the airway/intestinal obstruction. Flexible endoscopy for most foreign body extractions is preferred.
