Description

Recently, along with advances in endoscopic devices, endoscopic removal of esophageal foreign bodies is increasing. Here we report an 80-year-old woman who suffered from sore throat and fever due to an unshelled shrimp foreign body in the esophagus. Endoscopic management removed half of the foreign body, but the remainder required a surgical approach via cervical incision. We have found no reports of cases similar to this one.
