Abstract

Insertion and removal of esophageal foreign bodies is seen in childhood, but less frequently in adults. However, in the elderly, swallowing without chewing can cause food to lodge in the esophagus. In this case report, two elderly patients with foreign bodies trapped in the esophagus are presented. First, an 84 year old female patient with complaints of swallowing difficulties and a sore throat presented with dried meat trapped in the proximal esophagus; the food was removed. Second, an 85 year old female patient with similar complaints was admitted and chicken meat was removed from the proximal esophagus. Foreign bodies should be considered in elderly patients who present with chewing problems and difficulty swallowing. The proximal esophagus is the most common site for foreign bodies to be lodged and should be carefully evaluated and removed by endoscopy.

Abstract

Özofagusa yabancı cisim takılması ve çıkarılması çocukluk çağında sık görülürken erişkinlerde daha az görülür. Ancak dişi olmayan yaşlılarda çiğnenmeden yutulan yiyecekler özofagusa takılabilmektedir. Burada özofagusta yabancı cisim olan iki yaşlı hasta sunulmuştur. 1. olgu yutma güçlüğü ve boğaza takılma şikayeti ile müracaat eden ve proksimal özofagustan kurutulmuş et çıkarılan 84 yaşında kadın hasta idi. 2. olgu benzer şikayetlerle müracaat eden ve proksimal özofagustan tavuk eti çıkarılan 85 yaşında kadın hasta idi. İleri yaşta çiğneme problemleri olan hastalarda yutma güçlüğü olduğunda yabancı cisim akla gelmelidir. Proksimal özofagus en sık yabancı cisim takılan kısımdır, dikkatli değerlendirilerek endoskopik olarak çıkarılabilir.
