Abstract

We report a rare case of an unusually long foreign body (denture) impacted in the mid esophagus of a 62-year-old man.He was illiterate and drank wine regularly. He came to me with some attendants with history of taking wine with lunch,followed by acute obstruction since lunch at 12:30 pm and reached Kota by 9:30 pm. Till then, he was nil by mouth (NBM).Following investigations, we made a diagnosis of foreign body esophagus and with the help of rigid esophagoscopy undergeneral anesthesia, we removed the foreign body. Next morning, he could swallow food and water without any difficulty,and we discharged him.
