“…5,6,7 In this study it has been observed that foreign body esophagus is the most common indication for rigid endoscopy as 51.95% of the cases undergoing rigid esophagoscopy were due to ingestion of foreign body. Hariga et al 8 showed that most common indication for rigid endoscopy was foreign body in 87.7 % of their patients in contrast to our study where foreign body was the major indication but our percentage was low 62.85%. This may be due to a chance occurrence or due to more awareness in our part of the world.…”

“…[7][8][9] In Africa and the Indian subcontinent, coins, meat boluses, and dentures are the most commonly expected FBs that could be ingested. [10,11] Since the pattern and profile of FB ingestion have not so far been reported anywhere from India, and also the unique pattern of UGIT FBs that was observed in our set up over some time in which there was a predominance of pins and needles compelled us to observe it in a prospective manner.…”

“…The type of FB also varies from country to country. [6][7][8][9][10][11] The pattern must also be changing from time to time as the readily available things also change from time to time and from place to place. Such observations are not published and perhaps not studied.…”

Background and Aims: Foreign-body ingestion is a common phenomenon, especially in children. In normal adults, foreign-body ingestion is usually accidental and mostly ingestion occurs with food and impaction is a result of structural abnormalities of the upper gastrointestinal tract (UGIT). However, accidental ingestion of nonfood products is unusual; especially ingestion of pins (scarf or safety pins) and needles is unknown. We come across ingestion of these unusual/sharp foreign bodies routinely from the past few years. The aim of this study was to observe, over a period of 1 year, the spectrum of nonfood or true foreign-body ingestion in our community and to see the impact of an early endoscopy on outcome or retrieval of the ingested objects. Materials and Methods: In a prospective observational study, we studied the profile of foreign-body ingestion in normal individuals of all ages and both sexes, excluding the individuals with any structural abnormalities of the gut and the people with psychiatric ailment. Results: Of total 51 patients with foreign-body ingestion, 42 (82%) were 20 or <20 years of age with females constituting 86.3% of the total and males constituting only 13.7%. Foreign bodies ingested included 38 pins (74.5%), seven coins (13.7%), four needles (7.8%), and one denture and a nail (2%) each. Overall 26 (51%) foreign bodies were seen in UGIT (within reach of retrieval) at the time of endoscopy and all of them were retrieved. Nineteen (37.3%) patients reported within 6 h of ingestion, and majority of them (16 = 84.2%) had foreign bodies within UGIT and all of them were removed. Those patients (n = 32; 62.7%) who reported beyond 6 h, only 10 (31.25%) had foreign bodies in UGIT as a result of which the success rate of removal in these patients was only 32%. Conclusion: Most of our patients were young females and the common foreign bodies ingested were sharp including scarf pins followed by coins and needles. The success rate of retrieval was high in those who reported within 6 h of ingestion of foreign body. The rate of retrieval was 100% if foreign body was found on esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Hence, we recommend an early endoscopy in these patients and some alternative to use of scarf pins.

“…[3][4][5] In our study, we had 37 cases of oesophageal foreign body and 31 cases in airway, in our exclusive study in paediatric age group The study group had 32 male children and 36 female children, differing from other studies, reason due to the short duration of study of 6 months. 6 The reason which was given in their study was due to the over active nature of the male babies as compared to the females.…”

Background: Foreign body ingestion and aspiration is a common clinical condition among the paediatric population. The management of the aero digestive foreign body requires clinical acumen, coupled with the radiological diagnosis and the necessary infrastructure for their management, it demands skill and expertise for removal of a foreign body.Methods: A retrospective study was carried in the department of Otorhinolaryngology, between December 2016- May 2017, at Institute of Child Health and Hospital for Children, Madras Medical College. 68 cases were analysis of the nature of the foreign body was done. All the patients reported to the emergency department and the ENT surgeon opinion sought with aim of maintaining airway. Clinical assessment, with history, radiographs were obtained to ascertain level and nature of the foreign body and prompt removal by oesophagoscopy/bronchoscopy/direct laryngoscopy under general anaesthesia. Results: The study of 68 children who reported with history /suspicion of foreign body ingestion/aspiration. There were 32 boys and 36 females, 37 cases of foreign body ingestion and 31 cases of foreign body aspiration. The most common foreign body in digestive tract was coin in 26 cases and peanut in the airway.Conclusions: Foreign bodies in aero digestive tract in paediatric age group, is a common problem encountered by the otorhinolaryngologist. Careful assessment, clinical evaluation, radiological investigations with effective management in emergency department prompt removal of the foreign body in the aero digestive tract will lead to reduced mortality and morbidity.
