Introduction: Dentures are common accidental ingested foreign body (FB) especially among elderly. It is frequent to have foreign body impacted at esophagus in adults however it is very unsual to have Tracheo-esophageal fistula (TEF) caused by denture. The diagnosis of TEF is challenging due to two reasons. Firstly, most of the dental prosthesis is radiolucent and not visible in routine radiological investigation. Secondly, patient with history of swallowed dentures prosthesis may be asymptomatic initially and develops symptoms over time. In contrary, prolonged history of FB in esophagus with TEF has higher risk to develop serious complication such as pneumonia and lung abscess.Case Presentation: We report a case of 62 year old gentleman with background history of hypertension and temporal lobe epilepsy presented with history of choking on taking solid and liquid associated with significant weight loss past 2 months. He had lost his denture for almost 1 year during sleep. Endoscopic examination of the larynx showed normal anatomy but pooling of saliva. CT thorax showed foreign body within a tracheoesophgeal fistula. OGDS showed denture within a well formed tracheoesophageal fistula. He had acquired TEF secondary to the dentures. Conclusion: Symptomatic elderly who lose their denture during sleep should not be neglected. They need immediate medical assessment thus will reduce further debilitating complication. Failing to identify and treat this condition urgently, patient will suffer acquired trachea-oesophageal fistula on which the treatment is challenging and the morbidity and mortality is high.

ABSTRACT Ingested foreign body is one of the most frequently encountered emergencies in otolaryngology practice. Many of these foreign bodies get lodged in the upper digestive tract and can be removed endoscopically. Few of these foreign bodies can perforate the upper digestive tract and an even smaller number of these can migrate extraluminally. Although, a migrating foreign body can remain quiescent, they can cause life-threatening suppurative or vascular complications; hence, location and removal is essential. Here we report two cases of extraluminal migration of foreign body which was removed by neck exploration. How to cite this article Divya GM, Hameed AS, Ramachandran K, Vinayak KV. Extraluminal Migration of Foreign Body: A Report of Two Cases. Int J Head Neck Surg 2013;4(2):98-101.

The ingestion or aspiration of a foreign body is a common, but preventable occurrence in childhood. Primary healthcare personnel should alert parents to the risk of swallowing a foreign object, the signs and the need for immediate medical attention. It should be emphasized that protecting children from access to objects that can be swallowed or aspirated is the best preventive measure. A case of an eight year old child, who had swallowed a marble ball is presented and the symptoms and intervention discussed. Medical staff should be aware of the symptomatic variation in ingested foreign body presentation and the importance of rapid diagnosis and management.
