We report a rare case of an unusual impacted foreign body (titanium mesh stent) in the hypopharynx and upper oesophagus of a 66-year-old gentleman. He was a known patient with carcinoma of the mid-oesophagus admitted under the gastroenterologists for dilatation of the carcinomatous stricture with a stent. During the procedure the titanium mesh spring coil got displaced and was impacted in the retropharyngeal space, submucosally in the hypopharynx and upper oesophagus. He was referred to us for surgical removal of the stent, which he underwent successfully. We believe this to be the first case of such an unusual foreign body to be reported in the literature.

Background Transorbital intracranial penetrating injury is rare. Damage caused by a huge metallic foreign body is very critical and life-threatening. Method We report an extremely rare case of transorbital intracranial penetrating metal strip (a car windshield wiper), which has not previously been reported in the literature. Results Emergency craniotomy was performed; the object was removed successfully, and the patient's life was saved. Conclusion With the life-threatening penetrating brain injury caused by a huge foreign body, prompt surgical treatment and comprehensive postoperative treatment are important to save patients' lives.
