<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Foreign bodies (FB) in the upper aero-digestive tract pose major challenges to the otorhinolaryngologist in both diagnosis and management. Aspirated and ingested foreign bodies are often emergencies, leading to inadequate study, poor preparation and improper attempts at removal. A retrospective analysis was done on cases which were managed for the upper aero-digestive tract FBs in a tertiary care hospital in South India and the result is presented in this article.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> Retrospective study was done on 100 patients diagnosed as cases of foreign body in upper aerodigestive tract on the basis of detailed history, clinical examination and radiological investigation. They underwent per oral endoscopy under general anaesthesia for retrieval of foreign body.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Age group more prone for foreign body ingestion or aspiration was &lt;10 years and &gt;50 years. Most common site of impaction in oesophagus is cricopharynx and in airway is right bronchus. Most common type of FB is chicken bone. Most common symptom in FB ingestion is FB sensation and in case of FB aspiration it is cough. Most (82%) of the FBs were radio opaque.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Accurate history and clinical examination were the keystones in diagnosis and prevention of complications of FB lodgement in aerodigestive tract. Negative history and or normal imaging do not rule out a foreign body.</p>

A total of 315 patients visited the hospital with a foreign body in either of their ear, nose or throat. It comprised of approximately 12% of all the ENT emergencies in the hospital in the last one year of study.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Various foreign bodies of respiratory and food passage are enlisted. Nature of foreign bodies their presentation, management and complications are discussed.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> 200 consecutive cases of foreign bodies in the oesophagus which were admitted in a tertiary care hospital are included in the study.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Most of the ingested foreign bodies managed with oesophagoscopy except three cases of denture.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Children below 10 years of age are the commonest candidates prone to ingest foreign bodies. The coins are the most frequently ingested foreign bodies. Though most of the foreign bodies can be managed safely with oesophagoscopy, yet one has to be careful while removing sharp foreign bodies like dentures etc. </p>
