Inspiratory stridor and dysphagia because of prolonged oesophageal foreign body

G D Vos et al. Eur J Pediatr. 1987 Jan.

Abstract

A 2-year-old boy with severe inspiratory stridor and dysphagia is described. The delay in the diagnosis of an impacted foreign body resulted in severe deformation of the oesophagus. After surgical extraction of the foreign body the oesophagus was splinted for 4 months by a nasogastric tube because of persistent severe dysphagia. Removal of this tube was followed by a gradual disappearance of the complaints.
