Opis

The ingestion of pharyngo-esophageal foreign bodies is a frequent reason for consultation in the emergency room. It can be accompanied by complications that can be life threatening. Its diagnosis, treatment and complications are important to master. In this book, we present the epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical and therapeutic characteristics of patients who have ingested a hypopharyngoesophageal foreign body and identify the possible complications and discuss their management. Given the high frequency of foreign body ingestion and the severity of its complications, preventive measures through awareness campaigns and adequate management are essential.
