Persistent Odynophagia 27 Days After Emergent Intubation

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a case of persistent odynophagia due to a retained foreign body 27 days after emergent intubation. DISCUSSION: Dentures constitute a potential esophageal foreign body and warrant special consideration during airway management. Odynophagia, dysphagia, and changes in phonation should prompt consideration of retained esophageal foreign bodies, especially in the post-intubation setting.
