ABSTRACT

Foreign bodies in the pharyngolarynx are commonly encounterd accidental cases in the otolaryngological fields. Most foreign bodies in the pharyngolarynx can be easily diagnosed by history taking, physical examination, and radiological study. However missed foreign body can make a medically refractory deep neck infection. Authors experienced retropharyngeal abscess and emphysema refractory to I&D and intensive antibiotic therapy. Repeated CT study revealed plastic foreign body in the esophageal inlet and successfully removed under esophagsocopy. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2005;16:327-329)
