Abstract

Esophageal perforation has been regarded as the most rapidly fatal and most serious problem in the Gastrointestinal tract perforation. The esophageal perforation with foreign body is very rare. It is usually caused by sharp foreign body. Recently, we experienced a case of unusual esophageal foreign body, jujube seed which penetrated the cervical esophageal wall due to forceful deglutition with a large amount of food and resulted in periesophageal abscess in 54-year-old female. The foreign body was removed by the external surgical approach. We report this case with review of literatures.
