ABSTRACT

Esophageal foreign bodies were frequently seen in otolaryngologic field and various cases were reported.

The authors experienced a rare case of esophageal foreign body causing pneumomediastinum in a 6 year old boy. The foreign body was impacted in the first narrowing of the esophagus with esophageal perforation without air leakage, and it caused pneumomediastinum after endoscopic removal.

We treated this case by conservative therapy without any surgical procedure. So we report this case with review of literatures.
