ABSTRACT
A retrospective study was conducted of 97 patients with oesophageal foreign bodies (EFB). The patients were admitted to assess characteristics of EFB, modes of presentation and radiological and endoscopic findings. The patients were from the University Hospital of the West Indies and most (42) were over the fourth decade of life. The commonest EFB were bones. A negative radiological finding was not a reliable means to select patients for endoscopy. Oesophagoscopy is a reliable method in the treatment of EFB impaction. There were no major complications or deaths
RESUMEN
Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo a 97 pacientes con cuerpos extraños esofágicos (CEE). Los pacientes fueron ingresados para evaluar las características de los CEE, los modos de presentación, así como los hallazgos radiológicos y endoscópicos. Los pacientes provenían del Hospital Universitario de West Indies, y la mayoría (42%) sobrepasaba la cuarta década de vida. Los CEE más comunes eran huesos. Un hallazgo radiológico negativo no era un medio fiable para seleccionar los pacientes para endoscopia. La esofagoscopia es un método fiable en el tratamiento de impacción de CEE. No hubo complicaciones mayores ni muertes.
