Esophageal Foreign Bodies

The incidence of esophageal impacted denture is proportionately increasing as there is increasing number of people wearing denture in current days. Impacted denture has to be removed as soon as possible because the delay can lead to complications. The successful removal of impacted denture in the esophagus in a patient is reported, with a review of the literature. A 52-year-old Malay lady complained of dysphagia with no history of foreign body ingestion. Following unsuccessful attempts of removal via a rigid esophagoscope, open surgery was performed. Without further delay, the impacted denture was removed by cervical esophagotomy, and the patient recovered uneventfully. Esophageal foreign bodies are usually removed by endoscopy. However, in situations where this appears potentially hazardous, such as with impacted denture, open surgical extraction that is promptly performed is a safer option.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 05 No. 03 July’21 Page: 362-365

Dysphagia Treatment

This is the first case report of esophageal injury caused by Percogesic. A 31-year-old healthy white woman presented with dysphagia and retrosternal pain following the ingestion of a Percogesic tablet. The patient felt the tablet lodge in her mid-esophagus even though she ingested it with a cupful of water and in the upright position. Additional fluid was taken to dislodge the tablet with no success. Past medical history was unremarkable for heartburn, regurgitation, or dysphagia. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a well-circumscribed deep ulceration in the mid-esophagus. Hospitalization was required due to persistent dysphagia. Treatment consisted of a three-day regimen of liquid antacid, intravenous ranitidine hydrochloride, and metoclopramide. This case emphasizes that pill entrapment can occur in the esophagus in healthy individuals, even when taken in the upright position with plenty of fluid; and mucosal injury can be produced by drugs not generally reported to cause gastrointestinal adverse effects or mucosal injury.

The most common complications after thyroidectomy are postoperative neck hematoma, laryngeal recurrent nerve injury and hypoparathyroidism. [1] However, iatrogenic cervical esophageal perforation is a very rare repercussion of this procedure. In literature there are a few reported cases concerning that complication. We want to report a case of a patient with severe esophageal injury resulted from thyroidectomy.

Esophageal Perforations

Non-iatrogenic traumatic cervical esophageal perforations are usually hard to manage in the clinical setting, and often require a careful and individualized approach. The low incidence of this particular problem leads to a restricted clinical experience among most centers and justify the lack of a standardized surgical approach. Conservative treatment of esophageal perforation remains a controversial topic, although early and sporadic reports have registered the efficacy of non-operative care, especially following perforation in patients that do not sustain any other kind of injuries, and who are hemodynamically stable and non-septic. We report a case of a patient sustaining a single cervical gunshot wound compromising the cervical esophagus and who was treated exclusively with cervical drainage, enteral support and antibiotics.

Esophageal Hematoma

Intramural esophageal hematoma is a rare form of esophageal injury. The presenting symptoms are nonspecific. Esophagogastroscopy and computed tomography scan are usually needed to establish the diagnosis of intramural esophageal hematoma. Presented here is a patient with spontaneous intramural esophageal hematoma who was successfully treated with conservative measures.
