Esophageal Foreign BodyCategory: FOREIGN BODIES IN THE LARYNX AND TRACHEOBRONCHIAL TREE Source: A Manual Of Peroral Endoscopy And Laryngeal Surgery After initial choking and gagging, or without these, there may be a subjective sense of a foreign body, constant or, more often, on swallowing. Odynphagia and dysphagia or aphagia may or may not be present. Pain, sub-sternal or extending to the back is sometimes present. Hematemesis and fever may occur from the foreign body or from rough instrumentation. Symptoms referable to the air-passages may be present due to: (1) Overflow of the secretions on attempts to swallow through the obstructed esophagus; (2) erosion of the foreign body through from the esophagus into the trachea; or (3) trauma inflicted on the larynx during attempts at removal, digital or instrumental, the foreign body still being present or not. Diagnosis is by the roentgenray, first without, then, if necessary, with a capsule filled with an opaque mixture. Flat objects, like coins, always lie with their greatest diameter in the coronal plane of the body, when in the esophagus; in the sagittal plane, when in the trachea or larynx. Lateral, anteroposterior, and sometimes also quartering roentgenograms are necessary. One taken laterally, low down on the neck but clear of the shoulder, will often show a bone or other semiopaque object invisible in the anteroposterior exposure.
