Abstract

Introduction: Chevalier Jackson defined a foreign body as “an object or a substance that is foreign to its location” In human beings foreign bodies have always attracted the minds of the surgeon. Every attempt is made to take out the foreign body, even when it is harmless. Foreignbody ingestion and aspiration are common, especially in children. Taking into account the risk of infection and digestive perforation, it often requires an endoscopic removal under conditions of maximal safety and minimal trauma, especially for sharp-pointed objects. A positive history, detailed clinical examination and radiograph lead to a diagnosis.
