Foreign bodies located in the upper aerodigestive tract, if not diagnosed and taken out speedily, may be the cause of great morbimortality

We present a female patient who arrived at the emergency department reporting she had swallowed a fish bone; it was finally located in the pre-vertebral muscle at the level of C3–C4, where it had entered from the oesophagus at 2cm from the superior oesophageal sphincter.

We used a cervicotomy assisted by endoscopy, showing a new application for videoendoscopy.

Key words:
Videoendoscopy
Cervical foreign bodies
Aerodigestive tract

Los cuerpos extraños enclavados en las vías aerodigestivas superiores, si no se diagnostican y extraen de forma precoz, pueden ser causa de una elevada morbimortalidad.

Presentamos el caso de una paciente que acudió al servicio de urgencias refiriendo haber deglutido una espina de pescado, que se encontró finalmente enclavada en la musculatura prevertebral a nivel de C3–C4 y presentaba puerta de entrada en el esófago a unos 2 cm del esfínter esofágico superior.

Para extraerla se practicó una cervicotomía asistida por endoscopia, con lo que se muestra una nueva aplicación para la videoendoscopia.
