Safe endoscopic removal of ingested fish bone with esophageal perforation and impingement on the aortic wall

Abstract

Abstract Esophageal foreign bodies are common conditions that may lead to serious complications, such as esophageal perforation, neck abscess, mediastinitis, arterial injury, and lung damage. We report a rare case of esophageal fish bone impingement on the aorta that was managed without complication by endoscopic removal.
