“…Retrieval of the impacted safety pin by endoscopy is technically demanding. Bullaboy et al, [5] in their case report, described the endoscopic retrieval of impacted safety pin by holding the rounded spring end with a pair of rat tooth forceps with the help a forwardviewing scope, but in our case, the impacted safety pin was removed with rat tooth forceps using side-viewing scope which is still more technically challenging.…”

Single foreign body ingestion is a common scenario that is commonly encountered by gastroenterologists. The symptoms tend to be nonspecific and most of the foreign bodies pass spontaneously. Ingestion of sharp foreign bodies is also not uncommon. It can lead to complications like impaction or perforation. Most of these ingested foreign bodies can be retrieved with endoscopy. We report a 25-year-old patient who underwent successful endoscopic removal of an open safety pin that was ingested accidentally 3 months previously and was impacted at the junction of first and second parts of the duodenum, using a side-view duodenoscope. The presentation of a sharp foreign body without complications which is impacted for 3 months is unusual and its endoscopic extraction without complication is equally uncommon.

“…Esophageal perforations can be spontaneous or secondary to trauma, iatrogenic lesions, foreign body ingestion, and tumoral processes [ 1 , 2 ]. The presence of foreign bodies is a frequent condition [ 3 ]. Ingested sharp-pointed objects lodged in the esophagus are a medical emergency.…”

Esophageal perforation is a condition associated with high morbidity and mortality rates; it requires early diagnosis and treatment. The most common complication of esophageal rupture is mediastinitis. There are several case reports in the literature of mediastinitis secondary to esophageal perforation and development of aortic pseudoaneurysm as a complication. We report the case of a patient with an 8-day history of esophageal perforation due to foreign body (fishbone) with mediastinitis and aortic pseudoaneurysm. The diagnosis was made using Computed Tomography (CT) with intravenous and oral water-soluble contrast material. An esophagogastroduodenoscopy did not detect the perforation.

“…The swallowed foreign bodies usually lodge at the one of the three esophageal constrictions, the cricopharyngeus, the aortic arc and esophagogastric junction [1] and most of them lodge at the cricopharyngeus, namely the superior constrictor of the esophagus [1,4]. The sharply pointed foreign bodies such as open SPs are likely to give complications including esophageal perforation, mediastinitis, hemopericardium and aortic pseudo aneurysm [1,2,5,6].…”

“…Rigid esophagoscopy under general endotracheal anesthesia is generally used for removal of esophageal foreign bodies in children [1,2,5,6]. SP was grasped with a forceps and was brought to the lumen of the esophagoscope and extraction was performed or it was pushed downwards into the stomach.…”
