Abstract

Food bolus impaction is one of the most common problems in our population. Most food impaction passes through gastrointestinal spontaneously with only 10–20% requiring intervention. In contrast to true foreign bodies, impacted food bolus in the esophagus is always symptomatic as a result of partial or complete obstruction. We reported a case of food bolus impaction in which the patient presented with odynophagia for 2 days. Prompt resuscitation and endoscopy revealed a food bolus at the distal esophageal. A tactical endoscopic approach is always the best approach for this kind of case.
