ABSTRACT

Only a small number of ingested foreign bodies perforate the food passage and even a smaller fraction migrate extraluminally. Migrated foreign bodies have the potential to cause morbidity and mortality. This report describes a 59-year-old female patient who developed neck abscess due to perforation and extraluminal migration of a hypopharyngeal metallic foreign body. The abscess was successfully removed by CT guided aspiration and the patient was discharged without any specific complication. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2002;13:234-237)
